Touched flowed. A fishing boat ended its career at the bottom of the Strait of Pas de Calais, this Wednesday, announces the operational regional center of surveillance and rescue (Cross) Gris-Nez, in a press release.
Shortly before noon, the two crew members of the ship give the alert * by signaling an important waterway on board. The boat was then located off Calais, about 1 km from the coast and north of the Walde lighthouse.
Refugees on board their life raft
It is an all-weather canoe from the National Sea Rescue Society (SNSM) of Calais who will be the first to arrive on site to take care of the two fishermen who have taken refuge on board their life raft. A few minutes after giving the alert, they had to evacuate their ship which sank 300 m from the lighthouse.
An urgent notice to mariners was issued to report the wreckage in order to avoid any accident.
* If you are the victim or witness of a sea event, dial 196 or by VHF channel 16.
