The RNLI thanked Whitby Coastguard, the ambulance service and North Yorkshire Police who were also in attendance and said: “If you see someone in difficulty in or near the water, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”

Whitby RNLI also took part in a joint towing exercise with Scarborough RNLI’s Shannon Class lifeboat on Tuesday night.
