The report also highlights the still unresolved circumstances of the loss of the Cornish trawler Pescado. In truth however there are up to a dozen tragedies which were also inexplicable over the period of the Cold War when submarine activity by both NATO and Warsaw Pact vessels was at its most intense. Celtic League documented many such incidents not least the Mhari L and South Stack in the Irish Sea ( SE of the Isle of Man) and the Cite D’Aleth in the Celtic Sea. These mysterious will now remain probably remain unsolved although the families of those lost have had to carry a heavy burden because of the uncertainty for decades.
Celtic League provided information to the Coroner for Cornwall ahead of the Bugaled Breizh inquest and we trust that in this case there will be answers.
