Firefighters rescue sinking boat

Fire crews were called to a sinking fishing boat yesterday.

The vessel, in Douglas harbour, began sinking after being damaged by the gale force winds and high seas during Friday's stormy conditions.

Firefighters from Douglas were alerted at around 12.30pm - they pumped out water from the boat to allow repairs to be made.

The incident lasted around two hours.
