Default Tall Ship Asgard II sinks


"Tuppence" schreef in bericht
...

The Irish Sail Training Vessel, the brigantine Asgard II, sank at 7:30 am
this morning in the Bay of Biscay, off Belle Ile, whilst enroute to La
Rochelle.
All 5 crew and 20 trainees were rescued by the French coastguard.
The cause of the sinking is not yet known other than the vessel suddenly
began taking water.

Nice pictures Tuppence but not a nice message.
