Fishing boat fire.

Fishing boat fire.

Under power but not under command this fishing boat was running in a circle for some time but by the white smoke the engine was about to give up.
Crew safe as far as the Fire services on shore could say.

Apart from the personal side the problems only seem to have started after the engine gave up and the hull started to drift. H&S and the police had half the Co Down side of the lough shut down as there were gas bottles on board.It was only a matter of time before the hull burned through and she self extinguished by sinking.On Tridenport's post I think there is a glimmer of flame low down on the hull.
Rumour is the boat was only bought recently and new to this location, this may be corrected.
