Undated file picture of fishing trawler 'Pescado' which sank off Cornwall in 1991 with the loss of all six crew members. The operators of the trawler were condemned today (Tuesday) following a publication of a report into the tragedy. The 70ft steel-hulled scalloper Pescado sank off the Cornish coast seven years ago after her fishing nets snared on the sea bed, the Marine Accident Investigation Board said. The inexperience of the crew together with inadequate, badly fitted and poorly maintained life saving equipment cut their chances of survival when the boat went down, said the report. Photo
