MV Cemfjord
[edit]- ... that the cargo ship Cemfjord capsized off the coast of Scotland on 2 or 3 January 2015 with the presumed loss of her entire crew?

Article new enough, long enough, meets core content policies. However, I have an issue with the hook. It treats the possibility of the entire crew being lost as definite, whereas the even article itself only says that everyone may have been killed. The article also says that the ship was last sighted on January 2, not that it sank then. This might also be a good candidate for ITN if you'd rather take it there. --Jakob (talk) 23:13, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- To clarify, "last sighted" refers to the ship being in an upright position on the surface of the sea. The next sighting was of her capsized. She later sank by the stern leaving the bow out of the water before sinking completely. ATM, crew are missing, presumed dead. Mjroots (talk) 23:38, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
