Porthdinlllaen lifeboat searches for the missing crewmen from the coaster Swanland that sank in the Irish Sea south west of Holyhead in the early hours of Sunday morning. The boat was hit by 'a huge wave'; two men were airlifted from the scene along with another who was later pronounced dead. Five more crew are still unaccounted for from the sunken boat.

Last year she was brough into Falmouth by the MCA's ETV Anglian Princess after breaking down a few miles off the Lizard, the Newlyn lifeboat Ivan Ellen attended at the time.
