Story -- (Oct. 12) - Dozens of crew members were saved in a difficult rescue operation before their cargo ship broke apart in the Strait of Gibraltar, according to a report in the Daily Mail. The Liberian-registered Fedra smashed into rocks Friday at Europa Point -- Europe's most southern spot -- after two tug boats failed to secure the 35,000-ton vessel amid extreme winds.

It would be interesting to see, although I didn't know Capt Hazelwood got a new vessel? :-?

That reminds me of our economy and the "Bailout" was the tugboats.

Awesome picture. I wonder what was the cargo?
