Fishing crew trawls up WWII mine from seabed
The Sea Venture was fishing five nautical miles south-east of Courtmacsherry when its crew trawled up a mine from the sea bed. The skipper immediately radioed Valentia Coastguard Station to inform them of the incident and the Coastguard notified the Irish Naval Service.
Navy spokesman Lieutenant Commander Terry Ward said that the LÉ Eithne was dispatched to the scene and pulled alongside the trawler.
