Salvage of overturned inland vessel has started, Urk skipper points to stern wave of sea-going vessels

Post is now back home in Urk, he tells Omroep Flevoland on Friday afternoon. The other crew member, a 20-year-old man from Urk, is still missing. It is still a mystery to the skipper how he survived the accident. “I don’t know how I got up there. I swam through the wheelhouse and then I saw light and decided I had to swim there.” Mail was in the wheelhouse, the other crew member in the living room of the ship. “He didn’t know what hit him, it happened so fast.”
