Swell of ferry capsized fishing boat
On Feb 20, 2019, at 9.50 a.m. the "Cecilia Payne" caused the fishing vessel "Virginia" to capsize when both ships left Alcúdia at the same time. The accident happened about 1,5 miles off the port. The fishing boat partially sank, the skipper Paco Souto Flaquer was rescued from the keel by the 'llaüt' that was nearby. Both ships had been sailing on parallel courses when the swell of the Ciutadella-bound ferry filled the fishing boat with water. The "Salvamar Saiph" of the Salvamento Marítimo station in Alccúdia assisted with the rescue and took the fisherman off the keel. The f/v "Lince II" was first on site to support him. AT 2 p.m. the wreck of the "Virginia", a so-called llaüt of 7,50 meters length and an age of about 35 years, was secured with air balloons and towed into port by the fishing vessels "Nou Vista Alegre", "Aguileño" and "Es Batlets". On a water depth of four meters a diver of Alcúdiamar worked several hours to prepare the righting of the boat. The ferry had continued its way as the captain had not remarked the accident. The operator Baleària started an investigation jointly with the maritime captaincy.
