Three feared dead in trawler sinking

An air and sea search was under way off the coast of County Waterford in the Irish Republic last night after a trawler with a three-man crew sank without warning. Coastguard officials in Dublin said they had recovered the body of one of the Jenalisa's crew but two were still missing.

The search was launched after another trawler spotted floating wreckage. Jenalisa, based at Dunmore East, Co Waterford, made no mayday call and gave no indication that she was in distress, according to the Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Dublin.
