British investigators won’t join Maggie B probe

THE British Marine Accident Investigation Branch will not take any part in the inquiry into how a Cork registered boat sank off the Wexford coast in 2006 claiming two lives.

The Maggie B was on its maiden voyage after being renovated when it sank 8.6km south of the Wexford coastline in March 2006.

The crew had hauled in the nets when the boat began taking on water and a distress signal was released at about 11pm.
