Fishermen rescued as boat sinks
Published: June 11, 2005
Three fishermen from Holyhead have been involved in a dramatic rescue off Anglesey.
Their trawler was sinking because of engine failure and they had to scramble on board their life raft.
A rescue helicopter from RAF Valley managed to tow the men to safety just before the Morning Spray sank on Thursday night.
The men, who are all aged between 40 and 55, were winched aboard the helicopter and taken safely to land.
They were flown unharmed from the scene, 15 miles north of Bardsey Island, to Holyhead coastguard station.
The rescue was captured on film by the RAF. (see photo pop-up).
