The Irish Coast Guard Unit at Howth Harbour was tasked to a sunken yacht in the harbour today. There was initial concern from the Gardai that there was a person onboard below deck at the time of sinking. The unit's boat was launched to assist a diver but information was received that the person was located safely ashore.
The National Maritime Operations Centre requested the unit perform a pollution check in the area and provide a visual report and photographs. The underwater side-scan sonar unit was used to capture images of the boat on the bottom, as seen on the Starboard plot below. On the port plot you can see a mooring rope coming to surface.
Romeo Charlie Golf assisted with aerial images to observe for any fuel leakage but none was reported.
