Sad news this morning that the Irish sail-training vessel Asgard II has sunk in the Bay of Biscay after taking in water. Thankfully the crew of 25 have been taken to safety.

The full story is on my blog The Old Blog Cabin http://theoldblogcabin.blogspot.com

The Asgard was a regular visitor to Cobh, especially at regatta time and will be a big loss to this country as she was a great ambassador for promoting tourism here.
