Dozens injured after previously Manx-registered ship blown over

More than 30 people have been injured after a previously Manx-registered ship was blown over onto a 45 degree list in Scotland.

The RV Petrel, which was registered in Douglas until January 2023, was blown onto its side in Leith in Edinburgh as it was moored in Imperial Dock.

21 people were taken to hospital after the incident, while another 12 were treated at the scene.

The 76-metre vessel explores historically significant shipwrecks, and was is owned by the US Navy.
