Three found on ship’s rudder

SPAIN’S Maritime Rescue Service says it has rescued three stowaways found on a ship’s rudder in the Canary Islands after the vessel arrived from Nigeria. The men, found on the Alithini II oil tanker at Las Palmas port, appeared to have symptoms of dehydration and hypothermia and were taken to hospital on the island for medical attention. The agency shared a photo of the three men sitting on the rudder under the ship’s massive hull with their feet hanging a few inches from the water. The distance they travelled is roughly 2,000 miles.
