Stowaways Found On Ship Rudder In Spain

SPAIN – Three stowaways have been found sitting on the rudder of a ship after it completed an 11-day voyage from Nigeria to Spain.

A photo shared by the Spanish coastguard shows the men sitting on the rudder at the oil tanker’s stern, their feet less than a meter away from the water.

Spanish authorities say they were taken to hospital and treated for moderate dehydration.

It’s unclear if they spent the entire 2,700 nautical miles journey on the rudder.
