- Storm " Dennis " raged across Ireland and the UK last weekend.
- Now a ghost ship has been washed up on the coast of Ireland.
Dublin - A cargo ship abandoned by its crew almost a year and a half ago has stranded on the Irish coast. It was discovered in Ballycotton near Corks in the south of the island, according to the Irish Coast Guard. The ten crew members were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard in September 2018.
According to a report by The Irish Examiner newspaper, the MV Alta was sighted by a jogger around noon on Sunday. The British Isles had been hit by the storm "Dennis" at the weekend. At the time of its evacuation in 2018, the ship flying the Tanzanian flag was, according to earlier reports, a good 2,000 kilometers southeast of Bermuda. It was therefore unable to maneuver on the way from Greece to Haiti due to technical problems. It was last seen in the middle of the Atlantic last year. What is happening to the wreck is still unclear, according to the reports.
