• Tragedy Fishing in Newfoundland, the most dangerous job in the world: 30 below zero, no hours and no fixed salary

  • Sinking The three survivors and seven bodies of the 'Villa de Pitanxo' arrive at the Canadian port of San Juan de Terranova

Practically the entire crew of the Galician fishing vessel

Piedras

has been rescued after a

leak

in the ship left it

adrift in the waters of the Gran Sol.

At the moment, work is being done to

prevent the sinking of the ship

, in which

the skipper and the chief engineer are still

present, while the other

9 members of the crew

are already safe.

The fishing vessel, named

Piedras

, was fishing in international waters, between parallels 48-60, in Ireland.

The sinking occurs after that of the

Villa de Pitanxo

,

with 24 crew members on board, of which only three survived, last February, in the waters of Newfoundland.
