KUSADASI - Rescue efforts are underway to pull the cruise ship “Sky Wonder” to the Kusadasi sea port after the ship ran aground on Tuesday while approaching Kusadasi. Two tugboats are involved in the rescue operation.

 

Passengers aboard the ship are being carried in life boats to the Kusadasi sea port.

Just checked the Kusadasi webcam and the Sky Wonder is still aground just off the port. (17.30 GMT 27/03/08)

 

It doesn't look like the 2 tugs are having much success.

 

 

I uploaded a screen shot from the webcam, its evening and dark, but you can see the lights of the ships straddling across the entrance to the port.
