Nothing further was heard until 17:47, when a satellite picked up an emergency position radio beacon. A search and rescue mission was quickly organised, with lifeboats from Workington, Douglas and Ramsey and Port St Mary being launched. Helicopters flew out from RAF Prestwick and RAF Valley and a helicopter from the Irish Air Corps and a fixed wing aircraft from the Royal Ulster Constabulary joined in the search. Larger vessels also joined the search, with RFA "Bayleaf" and the "Ben-my-Chree", the Isle of Man ferry moving into the area to help. The search was called off at dusk on 12 January, when two unopened liferafts were found. The Royal Navy was called in to assist and the "Sandown" class minehunter HMS "Sandown" began to search the sea bed. "Sandown" eventually located the wreck of the "Solway Harvester" on 15 January lying in 115 feet (35 m) of water, off the Isle of Man. The bodies of all seven crew members were found on board. They were: Andrew (Craig) Mills, Martin Milligan, Wesley Jolly, David Lyon, Robin Mills, David Mills and John Doyle Murphy.
