Riverdance on the rocks
February 1st, 2008
The ferry Riverdance was hit by a huge wave off the Lancashire coast last night. The ferry was crossing between Warrenpoint in Northern Ireland and Heysham in England.
Thankfully the crew and passengers were rescued without any serious injury. News media in Ireland and in Britain are reporting that the freight ferry still has not being re-floated today. It’s mornings like this morning, that remind the Irish and British public that we live on relatively small islands, in a very big ocean.
