Interesting view of out of the window at work this morning of a sinking ferry, the Sea Express 1. The news says that a cargo ship hit it in the fog. AIS says that the cargo ship was the "Alaska Rainbow" (can't find a pic of this one).
Right now there's a tug-boat (The Oakgarth) in place behind it (i.e. the end that's in the water), and their moving another tug (The Switzer Bidston) in front of it (i.e. the end that's sticking right out of the water).
All of the passengers got off OK - bit of a bummer for the people who's cars are still on board.
Will have to go and take a closer look at lunch time.

Another tug The Thorngarth has just joined them, and they've dragged the ferry out into the middle of the river. They're now drifting down river - probably heading for a dock to make repairs in.
Must have sorted out the insurance and found a recommended repairer in the area :-)
