Families hope Pere Charles is lifted today

RELATIVES of the five fishermen lost when the Pere Charles sank in January are hoping that today will finally give them the answers they want about their loved ones.

Salvage experts worked through the night on the operation to upturn the trawler which went down off Hook Head. It’s expected to be lifted from the seabed sometime today.

The salvage operation proceeded as planned after the families of the drowned men had crisis talks yesterday, following contact from the Coast Guard service.
