Turkish divers search shipwreck for missing crew (AP)

ANKARA, Turkey ? An official says a team of divers will search the wreck of a freighter ship that sunk off Turkey's Black Sea coast for its eight missing crewmen.

The ship, Vera, with 10 Ukrainian and one Georgian crew, was sailing to Turkey's Aliaga port from Russia when it sank off the coast of Eregli in stormy waters on Tuesday. The ship's second and third captains and its cook, a woman, were rescued but eight crew are reported missing.

Gov. Erol Ayyildiz said Wednesday divers would scour the ship, which was carrying scrap metal, in case the missing crewmen are trapped inside.

The Caostal Safety Directorate said Coast Guard boats, tug boats and a helicopter searched for the crew throughout the night despite a winter storm.
