The Liberian-registered Fedra bulk carrier lists against the shore on Gibraltar's southern tip after smashing against the rocks and splitting into two October 11, 2008. British and Spanish authorities tried to save the ship which hit rocks on Gibraltar's southern tip on Friday as storms hammered the British colony, local officials said. The Liberian-registered Fedra was dragging her anchor in a force 8 gale on Friday afternoon. Despite the efforts of two tug boats to hold the ship clear of land, its anchor broke and the stern of the 35,000 tonne vessel smashed against rocks at Europa Point. REUTERS/Anton Meres (GIBRALTAR)
