Pride of America sinks
14/1/2004

NCLÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s newbuilding Pride of America, sank in the early hours of
this morning at Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven. The ship
due to be delivered in April started to take on water during a
heavy storm and shifted towards a pier. All workers onboard at
the time evacuated the ship and Seatrade Insider understands
two persons were slightly injured. The vessel is currently
grounded alongside the pier and listing at 20 degrees. The
lower three decks are under water and engine spaces are
flooded. (More details to follow).
