Sad news from Freemantle where STS Leeuwin crushed

Here's a link to an ABC report of the collision by the container ship Maersk Shekou swiping the Leeuwin as she was under tow by 4 tugs. Leeuwin was tied up at the her berth outside the Maritime Museum. Fortunately the two crew on board were only moderately injured.

Tall ship Leeuwin has been a wonderful site in Perth for both locals and tourists alike. And many have sailed on her. She's been especially popular for school kids.

Sad news indeed.
