Sailboat in the Vegesacker port sinks: police and fire brigade in action!

On Friday morning, April 25th, a seven -meter -long sailboat in the Vegesacker Museumshaven dropped. The Bremen police confirmed the incident and found that there were no injuries. The harbor champion alarmed the police at around 8 a.m. because the boat had dropped at a berth below the game ship. When the water protection police arrived, it could initially be ruled out that there were still people on board.

The fire brigade was informed to dive the boat. However, divers quickly found that no people were on board. The owner of the sailing boat, which comes from Münster, had only moored the boat in the Vegesacker Hafen about a week ago. On Saturday, the owner had the boat lifted and dragged it into a shipyard. The nautical investigators of the Bremen water protection police have now investigated the cause of the accident, such as the Weser-Kurier reported.
