The Marine Firefighters of Marseilles – N°5 : sinking ship | Le Bataillon des Marins Pompiers de Marseille | RMC Découverte

August 12 2016, a 50’ schooner runs onto a rock in the Frioul archipelago, several miles off the Marseille shores, on the Pointe du Brigantin. The Pointe Rouge rescue services do all they can to prevent the ship from sinking… All passengers are taken off in time and the rescuers do all they can to run the boat onto the nearest beach, but the breach is too big… The schooner sinks in 50 feet of water… a shipwreck experienced first-hand by the captain, who sees his ship go down in less than 18 seconds.
