BROKE ANCHOR??? SURELY IT WAS UNDER TOW.<br /><br />The stormy seas and heavy winds made the NSRI's job impossible and the help of Subtech's salvage crew came to assist. At around 9am this morning it looked like the tug was pulling the Phoenix shipwreck NOT A WRECK UNTIL ABANDONED out to sea. What happened after that is still not known, but by 11am the Phoenix was wrecked on the rocky shelf's SHELVES of Sheffield beach just north of Salt Rock.<br /><br />It was quiet QUITE a thing to watch the spray from the waves blow right over the helicopters as they came in and air lifted AIRLIFTED the crew from the vessel. Fortunately there have been no reports that I know of of any major injuries and all the crew were evacuated safelyGeorge Askewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439667418670047556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940530032189566687.post-58945701379283581722011-08-15T06:51:16.660+02:002011-08-15T06:51:16.660+02:00The ship is still there and they are debating what...The ship is still there and they are debating what is the best plan of action.
