A tall ship has run aground on a Isle of Man beach after its anchor chain broke during strong winds.
La Malouine, a French brigantine, had been anchored offshore after being unable to enter Ramsey Harbour due to a lack of capacity.
More than 60 years old, the tall ship is owned by Manx resident John Kerr, who inherited it from his late father Roy, who died in February.
After not being able to refloat La Malouine on Wednesday evening, John Kerr said the next likely opportunity to do so, based upon predicted tides, would be 16 May.
