Fishing boat rescue bid
Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), August 12, 2008
A LIFEBOAT crew came to the rescue when a fishing boat was stranded in the sea.
Tynemouth RNLI station's all-weather lifeboat attended at 3.40pm yesterday after the skipper of North Shields-based fishing boat Trudie May rang 999.
His salmon nets had become entangled in the vessel's propeller, stranding the boat and her three crew just outside the Tyne piers.
The RNLI boat reached the stricken 24-tonne fishing vessel within minutes and towed it to North Shields Fish Quay.
Adrian Don, spokesman for Tynemouth RNLI station, said: "Incidents like this do occasionally happen and there's not much the fishermen could have done to prevent it."
