yacht sunk attempting the north-west passage
Aug 31st, 2018 at 3:43pm
 
"Gestern Nacht ist die unter französischer Flagge segelnde Yacht „Anahita“, eine Ovni 345, nördlich der Küste Kanadas in der Nordwestpassage gesunken. Das Unglück ereignete sich in der Depot Bay, östlich der Bellot Strait. Nach ersten Informationen ist das Schiff zuvor von Treibeis eingeschlossen worden, aus dem es die Crew nicht mehr befreien konnte."

Google translate:
"Yesterday night, the French-flagged yacht “Anahita”, an Ovni 345, sank north of the coast of Canada in the Northwest Passage. The disaster occurred in the Depot Bay, east of the Bellot Strait. According to initial information, the ship has been trapped by drift ice from which it could no longer free the crew."

This must be that disappearing sea ice. It comes just days after another vessel was rescued. That appears to have been an "uncharted geologic feature". So the vessel didn't have some modern navigation aids?

"On the morning of August 24th, the Akademik Ioffe — the vessel carrying the participants of the National Science Foundation funded Northwest Passage Project being conducted by the University of Rhode Island — became grounded in the western Gulf of Boothia in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The ship has since been re-floated, and following a full and successful systems check the vessel has repositioned to anchor. We are happy to report that all passengers, including all Northwest Passage Project participants, are safe and are being well cared for. We will provide updates as we resolve the situation."

"#NWPproject participants are all safely off of the Ioffe and are currently traveling home. We are heartbroken by these events that have resulted in not being able to continue the expedition. Expedition postponed until Summer 2019. http://bit.ly/2od6j5L"

"The #NWPproject expedition aboard One Ocean Expeditions Akademik Ioffe was not curtailed due to ice conditions. There was no impeding ice where the ship grounded. The grounding occurred due to an uncharted geologic feature that is currently being investigated by @TSBCanada"
