The crew of a sinking fishing boat had to swim for their lives in a dramatic rescue off the west coast of Scotland.
Two members of the four-stong crew had stayed aboard the fishing boat, after it began to take on water, as it was slowly towed by a lifeboat back to shore for repairs.
However, the fishing boat began suddenly listing and sank, meaning the crew members were forced into the rough seas and had to swim to the rescue craft in heavy winds.
Footage captured by the Oban RNLI showed the two fishermen desperately swimming to the lifeboat in the Atlantic Ocean.
