Naval divers fail to locate body of missing Pole

NAVAL divers continued to work in extremely murky water yesterday as they searched for the body of a Polish man presumed drowned after the car he was a passenger in went off a cross-river ferry.

An eight-man diving team concentrated their efforts in an area a few hundred yards south of the ferry crossing in Cork harbour.

They were using portable sonar equipment to detect large shapes underwater in the hope of locating the Volkswagen Polo which fell off the ferry at about 6.45pm last Sunday, as it was halfway across the channel between Glenbrook and Carrigaloe.
