The Sealink ferry Antrim Princess was
towed into Belfast harbour today
after being crippled by fire yesterday.
The ferry broke down four miles off
County Antrim a few minutes after
leaving Larne for Scotland.
An Admiralty tug had a line on the boat
all night, but because of the high seas
it was impossible to start the towing
operation until daylight.
Meanwhile, the Royal Navy patrol boat,
Vigilant, which also broke down off the
Irish coast was towed into Belfast
harbour this morning by two trawlers.
