Wrong-way Dana1

Wrong-way Dana1

The 1885 dwt freighter Dana1 went aground while entering the port of Neustadt, Germany.   The master of the Dana1 was looking  for the correct berth had turned his vessel around, but headed back into the harbor on the wrong side of the channel.   The side of the channel the Dana1 was headed was shallow and muddy.   Luckily, the vessel was able to refloat itself under its own power and proceed to the correct basin.    Local authorities have detained the vessel until it can be inspected.   All nine crew on board were uninjured.
