Ship Sinks Blocking Entry To Rotterdam
A Panamanian freighter sank at the mouth of Rotterdam harbor, paralyzing western Europe’s largest port. Wreckage blocks the river approach, delaying dozens of liners and freighters while authorities plan to blast the vessel or create a narrow channel to restore movement by night. The Franconia arrived in Liverpool after two days offshore, with 225 Canadian passengers aboard. Several ships are sheltering along the English Channel as gale warnings persist and a French trawler crew is feared lost.
