A sailor is missing and feared dead after the barge that he was on sank in the Atlantic Ocean during the wee hours of yesterday morning.
The missing man has been identified as ‘Christopher’, a 20-year-old who resides somewhere on the Essequibo Coast.
Reports reaching this newspaper suggest that the barge was being towed by Tug Sambo from Berbice to Parika, when the vessel anchored somewhere in the vicinity of Mahaica and Mahaicony, Region Five due to the rough waters and bad weather.
This newspaper understands that it was during this time that a huge wave slammed into the barge, causing it to overturn and sink.
Another seaman who was with Christopher was rescued after he managed to swim over to the tug.
Christopher has since been reported missing. A search for his body is expected to resume today.
