The other day the Amver center received an email from the Horizon Trader, a Horizon Lines vessel, that they had come across a derelict vessel. They snapped a few photos and forwarded a detailed email of the circumstances.
What happened to the occupants? It's hard to say. If there were people in need of rescue we are confident the crew of the Horizon Trader would have made the rescue.
It's good to know our Amver partners are keeping the watch.
What strange things have you come across at sea?
