The bulker IOANNIS NK sank in deep water 98 n.miles off Cape Columbine last Thursday (23 July 2009), shortly after crew reported that the vessel was taking on water in one of the holds. The crew of 20 was lifted off the ship by South African Air Force helicopters not long before she went down and transported ashore. Here are a series of images showing the final moments of the vessel.
