MV ALTA The abandoned 'Ghost Ship' washed ashore during storm Dennis
The abandoned 'Ghost Ship' MV ALTA washed up on the Irish coast during Storm Dennis.
Alta was abandoned in October 2018 after a US Coast Guard relief operation to rescue the crew about 2,200 km (1,400 miles) south-east of Bermuda, stranded after the ship was rendered irreparably disabled on a voyage from Greece to Haiti. The ghost ship was then sighted by HMS Protector en route to the Bahamas. In February 2020 the ghost ship Alta ran aground on the coast near Ballycotton, County Cork amid Storm Dennis. This footage was filmed on Tuesday 18th February 2020.
