Estelle
The 53 meter long, 320 dwt 3-masted sailing ship Estelle ran aground near Nagu, Finland. The Estelle was en route to the Mediterranean Sea from Turku with 17 persons on board when its main engine failed. The crew dropped anchor, but the water was too deep. The Estelle drifted until it drifted ashore on a beach at Lydarudd. The Finish Coast Guard responded sending a rescue boat to the scene. The rescue boat was able to refloat the Estelle and take it under tow. The vessels proceeded to Retais where the Estelle will be taken to a shipyard for inspection. No reports of injuries or pollution being released. Reports state the engine failed because the vessel ran out of fuel.
