Titanic II sinks on maiden voyage

A boat called Titanic II lived up to her name – and sank on her maiden voyage.

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.

Bemused holidaymakers looked on while Mark, from Birmingham, was flung a life belt and finally dragged out of the drink by the local harbour master.
