Shipwrecks of the British Isles

The 82 meter long, 1720 dwt cargo vessel Celtica Hav caught fire outside Aberdeen Harbour. The Celtica Hav was underway from Aberdeen with a cargo of malted barley when smoke was spotted coming from the cargo hold. The RNLI lifeboat was alerted and escorted the Celtica Hav back into the harbour.  Three local fire brigades were standing by on a quay to extinguish the smoldering fire. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
