Tynemouth RNLI in dramatic North Sea rescue
Volunteer crewmen from Tynemouth RNLI are involved in a mission to save a fishing boat which sprung a leak 110 miles off the North East coast.
North Sea rescue was longest in RNLI's history
Tynemouth RNLI has been speaking to ITV Tyne Tees about their involvement in the rescue of a sinking fishing boat 110 nautical miles off the North East coast.
In 'land-miles' that would equate to a round journey of 250 miles, and took the volunteer crew 19 hours to complete.
This is what David Stanhouse from Tynemouth RNLI told us:
