On the evening of June 20, the 26 foot long fishing vessel St Annes sunk in Sutton Harbour at Plymouth, England. The St Annes, built in 1961, had been moored in Sutton Harbour for more than a year when it suffered uncontrolled water ingress and sunk at its mooring. No one was on board the vessel during the sinking, but several witnesses watched the vessel sitting low in the water before it lost buoyancy and sank.

The vessel’s owner was contacted and plans to recover the vessel.  Divers will attempt to refloat the vessel and have the St Annes hauled back to shore. The St Annes is well known in the area and a tourist attraction with its hull painted of illustrations. The cause of the sinking was not reported.
