In Pictures: Dolphin Rescue

The dolphin was brought ashore by RSPCA officers and coastguards

She was initially put in the enclosed harbour at North Dock

RSPCA officers remained with her while the inflatable pool was erected

Firemen used high pressure hoses to fill the inflatable pool with water

The dolphin was then moved from North Dock to the pool on the quayside

She was gently lowered into the inflatable pool by rescuers

She was fed with a special concentrate to try and re-hydrate her

Despite the best efforts of rescuers she was not in a fit enough state to be released back in the wild.
