webfact Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 A tugboat sank after it caught fire CHONBURI: -- A tug boat sank into the bottom of the sea in front of Dok Mai island of Chon Buri on Wednesday after its engine room caught fire and started burning. Pol Cpt Puvichapon Sooksai, duty officer attached to Koh Sichang police, said he received a report that a tug boat, named Nampol Vanich 1, was burning heavily in the sea off Dok Mai island and immediately alerted the maritime traffic control centre of the Marine Department and the marine police. Rescue and fire-fighting boats were dispatched to the scene to douse the fire. The firemen spent about two hours to fight the fire, but it could not save the tug boat which finally sank into the bottom of the sea. Police said that three crew members of the ill-fated tug boat who jumped over board into the sea when the vessel caught fire were later picked up by a rescue vessel.

They are referring to the water using the correct term. If some falls off a ship in the ocean; they say " He or she was lost at sea " not just at ocean, or lost at gulf. Nice try Newbie ! Only for more troll posts to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
