The 73 meter long general cargo vessel Sea Bird ran  aground on the Mediterranean Sea near Antalya, Turkey. The Sea Bird had suffered engine failure in bad weather and dropped anchor.  The anchors didn’t hold and the cargo vessel drifted ashore.  The 14 crew on board were safely rescued by the Turkish Coast Guard and were later taken to local authorities.  Reports state the Sea Bird had departed from Istanbul in ballast before it had suffered engine failure.
