The turtles were named Jason, Perran, Gordon, Hayle, Holly, and Tonni.
Of the turtles rescued in Cornwall, Jason and Perran were found at Perranporth, Gordon at Bude and Hayle at Hayle.
Holly was found on Putsborough beach in Devon and Tonni was rescued at Moel-y-Don beach at Anglesey.
Experts believe the turtles would have died had they not been rescued.
They were dropped back into the sea by the ship’s crew, who had gathered on the flight deck to watch.
