Caribbean container ship midnight sinking remains a mystery

Maritime investigators say it may take a long time to learn the cause of the sinking of a cargo ship bound for Barbados.

No lives were lost, but over 15,000 tons of cargo worth millions of dollars went down with the container vessel Angeln two miles from St. Lucia just past midnight on February 20.

According to a spokesman with DaCosta Mannings Shipping, the ship sank after listing to starboard and capsizing.

Miami based Bernuth Line was the operator and this was reportedly the company’s first sinking during a transport in it’s more than 100 year history.
