NEAH BAY — Personnel from Coast Guard Station Neah Bay transferred an injured crew member from the Navy research-vessel Atlantis in the Pacific Ocean this morning.

The 13th Coast Guard District communications center in Seattle received a call from the 274-foot research vessel at approximately 2 p.m. Sunday, requesting a medical transfer of an unidentified 29-year old woman who fell, suffering lacerations and a possible broken nose.

At the time of the injury, Atlantis was about 150 miles west of Cape Flattery conducting research operations.

A 47-foot motor lifeboat crew from Station Neah Bay met the Atlantis approximately two miles west of Neah Bay at 10 a.m. today and transferred the woman to the local medical clinic in Neah Bay.
