The 60 ton fishing vessel Corontine ran aground at the entrance to the River Wyre at Fleetwood, Lancashire. The Corontine had earlier entered the port and unloaded its cargo of whelks.  Later on the rising tide, the fishing trawler headed back out to sea. However, the master of the vessel missed one of the navigation lights and steered the vessel onto a sandbank. The RNLI and Coastguard launched vessels to the scene. All five crew of the Corontine were rescued. No reports of injuries. Reports state the master of the Corontine was found intoxicated and later charged. No reports of pollution.
