Douglas lifeboat was called out at the weekend after a mysterious distress signal.

Despite an intense search of more than four and a half hours, with added assistance from a rescue helicopter they were unable to locate the source.
The lifeboat and helicopter stood down at 3.55am and returned back to station.
