Ship surveyor probes fishing boat deaths
A ship surveyor was appointed today to assess how a boat sank leading to the deaths of four men and a boy, including three generations of the same family, amid growing indications that a faulty water pump caused the fishing trip tragedy.
The Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) appointed the experienced engineer to examine the Pisces which went down on Sunday morning in foggy conditions about a mile from Fethard-on-Sea, in Co Wexford.
