Warning : We found Canadian Marine Accident records for 331351 (E.L.M.). This ship has been
recorded in the Canadian Marine Occurrence database as having been in an incident. Below are the details of the Vessel, weather condition, damage incurred and other accident details such as the date: In the early morning hours of 05 July 1993, in deteriorating weather conditions, the "E.L.M." abandoned a routine fishing trip in the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia, with the intention of seeking shelter. Shipping water heavily, the "E.L.M." subsequently swamped and sank while attempting to beach in shallow water. One of the crew members became trapped in the vessel's rigging and drowned; the two remaining crew members were rescued uninjured.
The Board determined that the "E.L.M." sank because structural changes carried out when the vessel was converted to stern trawling made her vulnerable to shipping seas and, in the prevailing rough weather, progressive flooding continued until all reserve buoyancy was lost.
