Cruise ship rescues 77 migrants in sailing boat found southwest of Greece

Associated Press  

ATHENS, Greece — A cruise ship rescued 77 migrants found overnight in a sailboat in distress far off the southwestern coast of Greece and was transporting them to the nearest major port, Greek authorities said Tuesday. A passing Maltese-flagged cargo ship found the boat 112 nautical miles southwest of the town of Pylos in the early hours of Tuesday, the coast guard said. Last year, a massively overcrowded fishing trawler carrying an estimated 500-750 people sank off the coast of Pylos as it headed from Libya to Italy, in one of the Mediterranean’s deadliest migrant shipwrecks. The Greek coast guard came under intense criticism for its actions concerning the Adriana, which had been sailing in international waters but within Greece’s area of responsibility for search and rescue operations.
