Trawler towed in by lifeboat

by isleofman.com 20th August 2013
The Douglas lifeboat has rescued the crew of a fishing boat which ran into trouble when all power was lost.

The alarm was raised late on Monday afternoon when the electrics on the trawler failed 12 miles off the south-east coast of Douglas.

The crew of the Sir William Hillary towed the 16 metre vessel back to Douglas - a journey which took almost three hours.
