RESCUERS are scouring 350 miles of sea in their search for three fishermen feared dead.

The search operation will continue until sunset tonight, they say.

The three missing Weymouth fishermen have been named locally as David McFarland, Robert Prowse and Jack Craig – all aged in their twenties and thirties.

Sea litter has been found in the water by the coastguard but it is not believed to belong to the Purbeck Isle vessel.
