Default Tall Ship Asgard II sinks


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.
