The first ship carrying the bodies of the crew from the sinking of the Spanish fishing trawler Villa de Pitanxo arrived in St. John’s Friday morning.
The Maersk Nexus, carrying two of the crew recovered from the disaster, docked in St. John’s harbour early in the morning. Customs officers were seen boarding the vessel after it arrived.
The Spanish ship’s emergency beacons were activated before it sank around 2:30 a.m. NT
