Boats Sink In Severe Weather
Five boats have sunk in Newcastle harbour, County Down, due to the severe weather.
The damaged boats were situated along the wall of the south quay when strong winds and high tides hit.
Harbour master Brin Lewis said: We don't know the extent of the damage as yet. But, as the tide is now rapidly ebbing, the owners will be able to assess the damage and, hopefully, pump them out and restore them."
