260ft cargo ship stuck in the Humber Estuary after three failed rescue attempts

A huge cargo ship is stuck in the Humber Estuary and could stay stranded for a month after three failed rescue attempts.

The 260ft-long H&S Wisdom ran aground in the Humber Estuary, east Yorkshire, in the evening on Sunday, March 2 and is refusing to budge.

The crew of the ship is reportedly still on board the ship, which has a gross tonnage of 1,552 which refers to the volume of its internal space.

Now, rescue team Humber Rescue won’t be able to try again until higher tides come towards the end of March or beginning of April.
