Scarborough Lifeboat Called Out Twice

Scarborough RNLI had its second shout in a few hours when the propeller of a fishing vessel became snared on Friday.

But by the time the all-weather Shannon lifeboat had reached the 18 metre boat, 28 nautical miles north east of Scarborough, its crew had freed the obstruction.

The lifeboat, with a crew of six, escorted it for an hour to make sure everything was mechanically ok then returned to base.

In the early hours of Friday morning, the inshore lifeboat had transferred a man from a fishing boat, who was feeling unwell, to shore, en-route to Scarborough Hospital.

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.
