A tragic incident took place yesterday near Port Shier. The Goliath, which was carrying a load of coal for export, was set on fire and sank. By the time the Coast Guard found the barge, there was no one left to save. Those who escaped the flames must have drowned or been attacked by sharks. Allegedly, the vessel was also carrying 10-15 unregistered passengers. An investigation is being carried out, and a vacancy for a barge has opened on that route.
