Princess of the Stars sinks

June 23, 2008

Cebu City, Philippines - Battling choppy waves, four men were able to swim or ride a lifeboat to the coast a kilometer away.

But there were no signs of life on board the MV Princess of the Stars on Sunday when rescuers reached the site where the vessel capsized off Sibuyan Island, Romblon province.

The Sulpicio Lines vessel had 845 people on board when it sailed from Manila for Cebu City and encountered “engine trouble” in the middle of typhoon Frank Saturday morning.
