Ship topples over to 45-degree angle at docks

Emergency services have been called to a dry dock after a ship partially toppled over. Police, ambulances and the fire service were called to a report that a ship had become dislodged from its holding at Imperial Dock in Leith, Scotland, at around 8.35am on Wednesday.

Pictures show the Petrel leaning at a 45-degree angle. The Petrel, a research vessel, was bought and outfitted by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.

Edinburgh Live understands around 50 people were on the vessel with 'multiple casualties' reported. The Scottish Ambulance Service sent five ambulances, an air ambulance, three trauma teams and other resources to the scene, while the fire service also attended.
