About MeThe recipient of this medal, James Herbert Clark, is a native of Dundee. On the occasion of the Piper Alpha oil platform disaster (6th/7th July 1988) Mr Clark was a member of the 4-man crew of a rescue dinghy from the support vessel 'Silver Pit'. This ship was owned by Nomis Shipping of Aberdeen and was allocated to Occidental, operators of Piper Alpha, on permanent standby duty. 37 of the 61 survivors of the disaster were rescued by the 'Silver Pit' and its dinghy and all four crew members of the latter were awarded the George Medal which is the second highest civilian bravery award. The medals were conferred at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace on 12th March, 1991.
