Hopes fade for missing crew
It emerged last night that the ill-fated vessel, which only got its seaworthiness certificate in February of this year, sank off the British coast in November 1993 when it was four years old. It was chartered as the “Gilsea” at that time but its name was later changed to the Maggie B.
The boat’s life raft, which failed to inflate in the icy waters, was recovered yesterday, as were a number of fish boxes from the vessel. Other debris was drifting towards Dunmore East.
