 
                            Today marks 25 years since one of the Island's worst ever fishing tragedies.
On the evening of January 11, 2000, all seven crew members of the Solway Harvester lost their lives when the fishing vessel sank to the north of the Island during a force 9 gale.
She was later raised from the sea bed in a £1 million operation and her crew returned to Scotland.
The vessel remained in Douglas harbour until she was broken up in 2014, and a memorial to those who lost their lives was put on Douglas Head as well as a memorial from the people of Whithorn thanking the Isle of Man.
