Is there any talk that the ship was scuttled ..??
I just keep wondering if there was anything unusual on board the vessel, and “whoever” decided to stop the ship from reaching it’s goal.
Do you know where the ship was headed ..??
The El Faro was headed from Jacksonville, Florida to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
There were 391 large metal containers on board the vessel, and 274 automobiles and trailers below decks.
This story is attracting a great deal of interest here in Maine because four of the crew members were graduates of the Maine Maritime Academy in Castine, Maine, not all that far from where I am.
I don’t believe the ship was abandoned on purpose. A category 4 hurricane is not something to be messed with.
The crew had radioed that the ship was taking on water, and was listing.
A sad situation.
