Two fishermen were dramatically plucked to safety as their boat was smashed into rocks and sank.
The pair – understood to be a father and son – got into trouble in choppy seas yesterday (2 Mar).
The vessel was seen marooned on the jagged rocks.

The lucky duo were rescued before the boat sank.
It happened at The Rumps, at Wadebridge, north of Polzeath, Cornwall at 3pm.
Polzeath Coastguard Rescue Team and a lifeboat from Padstow carried out the dramatic rescue.
Witness Bill Bartlett told What’s The Jam: “Coastguards arrived quickly but the lifeboat was in attendance.
“There was quite a swell.”
Another eyewitness Katie Childs added: “Incredible rescue of a fishing boat crew up on the rocks.
“Poor guys, it was a father and son, a local boat and a lucky escape.”
The sinking was near the spot a sailing brig called Maria Asumpta foundered in 1995 with the loss of three crew.
