Video: Crew rescued from sinking fishing trawler Two fishermen were left stranded in the North Sea after their trawler sank 10 miles off the coast of County Down, Northern Ireland. Fortunately a nearby fishing vessel came to the men's rescue, plucking them from the sea moments after their boat was submerged. The moment the boat, named the Snowdonia, disappeared beneath the waves was captured in an amateur video from the rescue vessel. A spokesman from the RNLI said a lifeboat from Kilkeel assisted in the rescue effort. The two fishermen were airlifted to hospital. They were later discharged.
