News: Ship Ahoy!


Real life news article:A Danish man set off a real-life sea rescue mission while playing with toy boats in his bathtub. The drunken 52-year- old called in repeated mayday alarms to the Maritime Sea Rescue Command as he piloted his water toys, claiming he was captain of a 12-crew freighter in distress. Giving a position west of the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm, which belongs to Denmark, he said his vessell was listing 45 degrees and that one crew member had been washed overboard. Authorities sent two rescue vessels to search the area for 90 minutes before police eventually traced the phone calls to the home of the intoxicated man, who admitted the false alarm.
