MHK wants answers over Solway Harvester memorial

A memorial to seven Scottish fishermen who lost their lives 26 years ago is the subject of a Tynwald question from a Douglas MHK.

North Douglas member John Wannenburgh has asked Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall about the Solway Harvester memorial stone on Douglas Head.

He wants to know who's responsible for maintaining it and what importance Mr Crookall attaches to it.

The Solway Harvester sank in January 2000 with the loss of her entire crew - she was later raised from the seabed and the memorial was sent to the Island by the Isle of Whithorn in gratitude.
