Scarborough Lifeboat Rescues Fishing Boat Taking on Water

Scarborough's All Weather Lifeboat made the rescue last night.

Last night at 6.31pm, Scarborough’s all weather lifeboat (ALB) was tasked by Humber Coastguard to assist a fishing vessel taking on water and in danger of sinking.

Using a latitude and longitude position provided by the Coastguard, the ALB made swift contact with the vessel, which fortunately still had power, and escorted it safely back to Scarborough Harbour.

Once in the harbour, the ALB crew ensured both the crew and vessel were safe and began pumping sea water from the boat to help stabilise the situation.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
