Divers resume work on sunken trawlers off south-east coast

Divers have resumed work on the wrecks of the Pere Charles and the Honeydew II today in an effort to locate the remains of their seven missing crewmen.

The two vessels sank during stormy conditions off the south-east coast more than two weeks ago.

Yesterday, divers managed to reach vessels and begin work on making them safe enough to enter.

They are hoping that the bodies of some of the seven missing fishermen may still be trapped inside the wrecks.
