Portsmouth Lifeboat rescue of crew from a sinking fishing boat

Lifeboat volunteers from Portsmouth RNLI rescue two fishermen as their 11m trawler sinks in front of them, two miles south of Langstone Harbour. After the two fishermen are safely transferred to the lifeboat, an RNLI crew member is forced to jump clear of the trawler just as it sinks beneath the water – he is then picked up by the Gosport Rescue team.
