Wreck survivor speaks of fight for survival

The sole survivor of the Tit Bonhomme trawler tragedy has spoken publicly for the first time about his fight for survival.

Egyptian crewman Abdul Mohammed, 43, said he swam with a broken collar bone for up to two hours through freezing water to reach rocks in Glandore Bay after the fishing boat sank on Jan 15 last with the loss of five crew.

“I wake up when we crashed on the rocks,” the father-of-three said.
