Jahre viking slight list to her port side but bow very low in the water she is sinking, the tug's lady mille and another tug aided in pulling the tanker off the bank and out into deeper water where at 1628 she sank.



Jahre viking 10 minuets before she sinks listing to port severlyby this time the tugs had given up hope of pulling the tanker to sea and so they retreated.

How did it happen?

My XO was in command and i forgot to set the auto pilot which the ship instead of going to its way point went straight into the coast, the fully loaded tanker the took a list to port slightly and then i knew it was sinking.

Tugs came and tried to pull her into deep water only slightly managing it later on the jahre viking listed to port badly then sank.

cant effing believe that i managed to do that
