Five dead in trawler tragedy

A massive sea and air search operation is due to resume in Glandore Harbour in West Cork at first light this morning for the missing crew of the Tit Bonhomme, a 69ft twin rig trawler which struck rocks and sank at the mouth of the harbour early yesterday.

One crew member, Egyptian national Mohammed Add Elgwad, 40, was airlifted to Cork University Hospital (CUH) and is recovering after he managed to scramble on to the shore of Adam’s Island.
