Sara Lena
On September 14, the 16 meter long Sara Lena BM 30 (IMO: 8528852) ran aground in Ardglass harbour, Northern Ireland. The vessel had run up on the rocks and requested assistance. The Newcastle Coastguard along with the RNLI Portaferry lifeboat responded. The lifeboat stood by while the Coastguard dispatched a helicopter from Wales to rescue the crew. The helicopter winched up two crew off the Sara Lena and carried them to shore. No reports of injuries.
The Sara Lena continued to be pounded by waves against the rocks during the night. By the next morning the Sara Lena had sank below the waves. No reports if authorities will launch an investigation into the incident. No further details reported.
