Crew’s bodies may be trapped on vessel

THE bodies of some of the five missing crewmen of the tragic Tit Bonhomme trawler may still be trapped on board.

Experts believe the 21-metre twin-rig trawler which fished out of Union Hall sank in seconds after it struck Adam’s Island at the mouth of Glandore harbour early yesterday.

Local fishermen believe some of the crew may have been asleep in their bunks as the vessel made its way home and would not have had enough time to get off before the vessel sank.
