Shipwrecks of the British Isles

The 53 meter long fishing vessel Viktoria Lady ran aground  in Badcall Bay near Lochinver, Scotland. The fishing vessel struck a reef with the rocks puncturing the hull.  The vessel suffered water ingress, but the vessel’s pumps were able to control the flooding. No reports of injuries to the seven crew and no pollution was released. The Stornoway Coastguard helicopter and the RNLI lifeboat from Lochinver arrived on the scene.  The lifeboat remained on scene to monitor the situation until the Viktoria Lady was refloated later the same day.  Reports state divers were requested to inspect the fishing vessel’s hull.
