Three fishermen were rescued after their boat sank off Co Donegal this morning.
The incident took place off Glengad on the Inishowen Peninsula just after 8am.
The men issued issued a distress call just moments before their boat sank forcing them to take to their lifeboat.
Malin Head Coastguard Station immediately coordinated a response, issuing a mayday call and a number of local vessels responded.
They included both the Lough Swilly RNLI and the Greencastle Coastguard.
Another local boat were first on the scene and took the fishermen on board from their lifeboat.
They were then transferred to the Greencastle Coastguard Delta and brought to Bunagee Pier, where they were assessed by an ambulance crew on scene.
It is not understood that any of the fishermen were injured.
