LONDON ? Officials says six people are missing and two are rescued after a cargo ship sank in the Irish Sea.
The Holyhead Coastguard says the Swanland cargo ship, with eight people on board, sent a mayday call early on Sunday from 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of the Llyn peninsula in north Wales after its hull cracked.
It said the two rescued men were taken to a Royal Air Force station on the island of Anglesey, Wales.
Jim Green, a coastguard official, says the 81-metre cargo carrier was carrying 3000 tones of limestone and it appears to have sunk.
The coastguard says two helicopters and two life boats were sent to the scene to help with the rescue efforts.
Gale-force winds battered the Irish Sea during Sunday and the coastguard believe this could have caused the incident.
