Breakthrough After 46 Years: Wreck Found of Missing Boat with Two Scheveningen Men Aboard

Omroep West25 September · 20:002 hours ago

The wreck of the Belgian ketch Hosanna Z-592 has been located off the coast of England near Dover, ending a 46-year mystery since its disappearance on February 14, 1980. The vessel carried five crew members, including Piet Guyt and his nephew Pietje from Scheveningen. Research by the Foundation for Maritime Missing Persons Investigation indicates the ship likely collided with a large cargo vessel in dense fog, causing it to capsize. Due to the wreck lying at 55 meters depth and being filled with sand, recovery of bodies is deemed too dangerous and impossible, though the identification confirms the fate of the missing fishermen.
