Lone fisherman rescued by RNLI

Thu, 24 Mar 2016

A Douglas lifeboat was called out to rescue a small fishing boat.

RNLI volunteers were paged at 2.45pm yesterday to help a lone fisherman - its propeller had become entangled in marine debris, rendering the boat immobile.

The crews towed the vessel back into Douglas harbour before returning to the station.
