The sea continues to throw drama to the surface. The tragedy of the fisherman Rúa Mar, the ship in which six Algecirean sailors were traveling and that disappeared last Thursday, already counts two fatalities and except for a miracle, the figure will increase.

Salvamento Marítimo has today, after receiving a notice from a sailor, the lifeless body of Óscar Maquera , a 44-year-old Hispanic-Peruvian sailor, who was in the area known as the Cuartel de Oliveros, between the coast of Algeciras and Tarifa. It should be remembered that yesterday the body of the ship's patron, Antonio Javier Maza, was found and will be buried on Wednesday after a funeral that will take place in the city's largest temple, the church of Our Lady of La Palma.

The subdelegate of the government in Cádiz, José Pachecho, has indicated that the tasks of searching for people "are now going to focus on that point of the Strait, specifically on the coast since the tide we have had points to the fact that bodies can continue to appear , although we don't lose hope of finding survivors. "

Meanwhile, he explained, the devices that look for the wreck are maintained, although they will now return to the point of origin. "We continue with the wreck hypothesis, although now 500 meters deep, we will return to the place where the beacon radio signal was lost."

Pacheco also highlighted, again, the collaboration of Morocco that continues to work in coordination with the Spanish authorities.

The City Council of Algeciras, as confirmed by the mayor, José Ignacio Landaluce, has extended the day of official mourning that had already been decreed today and that will remain, in principle, until 4:00 pm on Wednesday.

On the other hand, it should be noted that if the lifeless bodies of the six crew members are finally located, the search for the wreck will already depend on the commission of marine accident investigation.
