European Mobility Week 16th-22nd September. www.smartertravel.ie A TRAWLER which sank just hours after five fishermen drowned in a separate tragedy suddenly flooded and went down after being struck by violent seas, marine investigators said yesterday. Two crew members perished and two others miraculously survived when the Honeydew II capsized in stormy conditions off Irelands south-east coast in January 2007. The tragedy happened within hours of the Pere Charles sinking nearby, devastating two coastal communities. The Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) said it was incredible there were any survivors from the Honeydew II given the treacherous weather and the speed of the incident. Investigators said either a wave or waves caused sections of the ships hull to buckle and catastrophically fail, ultimately causing the ship to sink. There were four men on board when it went down in about four minutes, three miles off Ram Head, Co Waterford, at around 3am on January 11, 2007. Skipper Ger Bohan, 39, drowned, along with Polish deck hand 31-year-old Tomasz Jagla, while two Lithuanian crewmen, 47-year-old Viktor Losev and Vladimir Kostyr, survived. Huge waves blamed for sinking of Honeydew tragic loss to friends, family and sport Power: Sutherland beats Siarhei Navarka in March in Wigan, England Pictures: PA/Sportsfile D Wednesday, September 16, 2009 METRO Dazzler who never forgot rootsTHE amateur boxing club where Darren Sutherland honed his skills yesterday described him as a gentle giant who always made time for younger fighters. Coaches at St Saviours in north-inner city Dublin trained the middleweight bronze medallist for around ten years, helping lead the 27-year-old to glory at the Olympic Games last year. Martin Power, 75-year-old club secretary, said he had everything going for him. He was a big, big soft, nice lad, a gentle giant, thats the best way to describe him, he said. A great character, a good talker, he had everything. You think of fellas like Cassius Clay... he [Darren] was known as the Dazzler, a terrific personality. He could have been anything in life. Mr Power said that, despite Darrens success, he never forgot his roots and was back in the Dublin club less than a month ago training and sparring with younger members. Darren, whose family live in Navan, Co Meath, joined St Saviours Olympic Boxing Academy when he was around 15, and it was not long before his talent became apparent.
