A yacht sank after striking a jetty in the Charleston Harbor. Three people were aboard at the time of the collision. The Harbor Pilots rescued them, uninjured.

Worse, the boat jetty at Mattancherry, renovated at a cost of Rs 78 lakh, is yet to get a power connection. “There are three streetlights outside the terminal building and one inside the facility.

The boat was said to have ferried 22 passengers from the Bonny/Nembe/Bille Waterfront Jetty in Port Harcourt but three of the occupants did not make it when the boat capsized due to the storm.
