Louis Lines 'Aquamarine' holed and heading to port for urgent inspection
Quote:
ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Authorities say a Greek cruise ship carrying more than 1,200 people is heading to an Aegean Sea island for an emergency inspection after its hull was damaged.
The Ministry of Merchant Marine says the Aquamarine cruise liner is headed to the island of Milos after it suffered a 5-foot (1.5-meter) gash above the water line Thursday.
A ministry spokesman said the 872 passengers and 407 crew were not in any danger.
