Incident at harbour entrance

The patrol were tasked to the harbour entrance after a call reporting a capsized boat.

Both Poole RNLI lifeboats were tasked along with Swanage and Poole Coastguard and Rescue 175.

The lifeboats located a motorboat sunk with just the bow sticking out of the water.  Fuel was also leaking from fuel tanks.

As a search started for any people the harbour master confirmed the vessel had sunk earlier and no one was missing.

Rescue units were returned whilst the pollution is being monitored.
