The fishing boat Argos Georgia, carrying 27 crew members, sank off the coast of the Falkland Islands on Tuesday, resulting in at least six confirmed deaths and seven individuals missing. Fourteen survivors managed to board a life raft and were rescued by nearby fishing vessels after the ship issued a distress signal while taking on water. Among the crew, 10 were identified as Spaniards, with other nationalities including Russian, Indonesian, Uruguayan, and Peruvian. The vessel, managed by Argos Froyanes Ltd and flagged under St Helena, encountered severe weather conditions with winds exceeding 35 knots and high waves. Rescue operations faced challenges due to rough sea conditions and visibility issues but resumed once the storm subsided. The incident has drawn attention to maritime safety and the tragic history of the region, recalling the 1982 Falklands War between Britain and Argentina.
