Stricken MV Norman Atlantic Fully Evacuated, the Skipper is the last one off!
Well done Captain, this is how it is supposed to be. Yes it is a tragedy, but props to the Captain. He did not leave his ship until all other souls were off the ship.

As any true sailor knows; the sea is a cruel mistress - only the bravest of hearts and truest of souls will lead properly and with dignity to the end.
Bravo Zulu Giacommazzi, Well Done!

Rare to see and hear about that happening. Reminds me of the idiot Captain of the South Korean ferry incident earlier this year.

Unfortunately, there are still about 50 people unaccounted for. Plus two Albanians were killed when the tow cable snapped trying to salvage the Norman Atlantic.

Recovery operations at sea are never easy nor simple. The weather and sea state are major players and can never be taken for granted - towing operations are among the most dangerous.
