Aran Islands. Cargo ship runs aground.
From the IRISH TIMES.
The 120m Pantanal , with 16 crew on board, broke its anchor mooring in shallow waters just off Rossaveal, Co Galway at about 6am.
Minutes later, it ran up on rock and a sandbank close to the entrance to Rossaveal fishery harbour.
It had steamed into the narrow channel yesterday evening, and was due to pick up two Aran Island fast ferries which have been sold to Mauritius.
