On August 19, the 13 meter long, 11.8 GT wooden fishing vessel Mañón Un (CFR: ESP000021719) sank at the entrance of the Cedeira estuary near Cedeira, Spain. The 4 crew members on board sent out a distress call that the vessel was sinking after it sprung a leak.  Spanish authorities responded by dispatching the 7.5 meter long search and rescue vessel LS Percebiño and requested nearby fishing vessels to assist.  The 4 crew would be rescued by the LS Percebiño and transported back to port.  One crew member was taken to hospital for undisclosed injuries.
