Ship that tipped over in Edinburgh injuring 35 people spotted off coast for first time

Pictures have emerged of the RV Petrel, which tilted in the dry dock in Leith Harbour in March, being tugged in the Firth of Forth after being righted and repaired.

Emergency services from the capital had to undertake a major operation on March 22 after the ship toppled to a 45 degree angle.

As many as 35 people were injured during the event with 23 of those treated in various hospitals across Edinburgh and the Lothians - sadly one person was understood to have suffered from ‘life changing injuries’ during the major incident.
