Eleven Spanish fishermen had to be rescued off the coast of West Cork today after their vessel lost power and began taking water on board in the middle of the ocean.
According to the Irish Coast Guard, the terrifying incident occurred this morning at around 10:16 am, leading the captain of the ship, 'Piedras,’ issuing a distress call.
At the time of the incident, the fishermen were 64 miles southeast of Cape Mizen, with eleven on board.
