The body of a sailor was found in the middle of the morning, Monday, "seven miles (nautical miles, about 13 km) from Tarifa", a Spanish town overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, said the sub-prefecture of Cadiz . He is one of six sailors who disappeared last week with their Spanish fishing boat, the Rua Mar.
The ship had left the port of Algeciras and disappeared on Wednesday evening while fishing in Moroccan waters. The discovery of the body "confirms with even more certainty, and almost 100%, that it is indeed a shipwreck," said sub-prefect Jose Pacheco, during a press conference. "This does not prevent that there may be survivors who will be found in the future, which is why all avenues of research remain open," he added.
