Boat rescued

Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), Oct 22, 2008

A LIFEBOAT was called to the aid of a dive boat which became trapped near rocks.

Seahouses lifeboat was launched yesterday after a call from Humber Coastguard to go to the aid of the dive boat Maria, which had called for help after striking rocks or an underwater obstruction near Holy Island Haven and put down her anchor.

The crew reported the engine was damaged, the steering disabled and there were eight divers on board.

The lifeboat attached a rope and pulled the boat's head into the wind and was able to lift her anchor. The boat, launched from Beadnell, was then towed into Seahouses.
