Fishing Boat Rescued By Scarborough RNLI

Scarborough RNLI’s all-weather Shannon lifeboat launched in the early hours this morning when a net snared a fishing boat’s propeller. However, the 34m Alcedo BA77 scalloper was 4.8m deep so couldn’t be towed into the harbour at either Scarborough or Whitby. The stricken vessel, built in Whitby and registered in Ballantrae, Scotland, was about 15 miles east of Scarborough, on a choppy sea. The coastguard eventually decided that the best course of action was to call a commercial recovery vessel to tow it to Teesside. >click to read< 14:24
