The stricken vessel was nine miles offshore
Scarborough RNLI was called out this morning when a fishing boat’s engine caught fire nine miles offshore.
The crew had extinguished the fire before the all-weather Shannon lifeboat arrived.
The lifeboat launched at about 7.30am and had towed the boat back to the harbour by 9.40am.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. 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.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
