An RNLI volunteer crew responded to a sinking paddle steamer 10 miles west of the Welsh island of South Stack on Friday, May 25.

Holyhead coxswain Tony Price said, “It was very sad to see such a lovely vessel sink like that, but fortunately no one was endangered and the lack of fuel on board meant there were no environmental issues.”
