Spain mourns worst fishing tragedy in 38 years after sinking of Villa de Pitanxo

The Galicia-based trawler sank off Newfoundland with just three known survivors from the crew of 24

Spain was in mourning for its worst fishing tragedy in almost 40 years, as rescuers warned on Wednesday that it was unlikely they would find any more survivors from a ship that sank in rough seas off Newfoundland.

Search teams have so far confirmed 10 dead and rescued three survivors from a life raft, and the search continues for 11 others who remain unaccounted for.
