A Manx registered tanker has saved the lives of a British couple and their dog after their yacht sank in a storm.
The Northamptonshire couple, dog Dexter, and a Belgian crewman found themselves 900-miles North West of Bermuda caught up in 25-foot waves and clinging to a life raft for survival.
Luckily for the foursome, gas tanker 'Tilda Kosan' was on hand to save the day in what's been described as a very difficult rescue mission.
Dick Welsh is the director of the Isle of Man Ship Registry - he says the crew pulled off an impressive rescue:
