Boat called Titanic II sinks on its maiden voyage

Happened in Dorset, England:

Just like the doomed luxury liner 99 years ago, the 16ft cabin cruiser sprang a leak and rapidly started taking on water.

Horrified owner Mark Wilkinson was left clinging to the side as his pride and joy disappeared beneath the waves – without an iceberg in sight.

He had been enjoying a successful fishing trip, but as he entered the harbour a large hole opened up in the fibre-glass hull.

Mark frantically tried to pump out the water out but was forced to abandon ship when it started to go down stern-first.
