The Vilaboa Uno sank at dawn on Monday, April 3 with ten crew members on board, seven of whom could be rescued by boats that came to the area after warning the ship that it had a water leak.
The reasons for the shipwreck, which occurred in just half an hour, are still unknown, since the sea conditions were good at that time and the ship was stopped to start fishing and therefore without cargo.
The lifeless bodies of the ship’s skipper, a Santander sailor about to retire, and that of a Ghanaian crew member were recovered.
The wreck was located on Sunday at a depth of 120 meters by the ROV Comanche de Salvamento Marítimo robot, which is operated through the ship Don Inda, based in Ferrol and whose objective was to identify the ship and obtain information about the wreck, since that there are several open investigations.
