More than 20 passengers stranded after tall ship runs aground
A rescue operation was launched after a tall ship became stranded
off the coast of Oban.
The FLYING DUTCHMAN had 22 passengers on board when it grounded
on rocks about 2.30pm.
All visitors on the ship – who had a trip booked at Oban distillery
– were taken ashore by a diving vessel which was in the area.
The four crew remained on board, and no-one was injured.
A spokeswoman for Stornoway Coastguard said the vessel had
suffered no “apparent damage”, and that it had been taken into
Oban harbour.
A survey for damage will have to take place before she can leave port.
