Ghost ship found off Irish coast

The World

A 250-foot Tanzanian-flagged vessel was traveling from Greece to Haiti when it ran into engine problems in September 2018. The 10-member crew couldn’t repair the engine, and they soon ran out of food. The US Coast Guard rescued the crew members. But the ship was left to fend for itself, leading to a mysterious journey from Bermuda to Ireland. The World’s Marco Werman has the details.
