Authorities in the eastern Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis said Thursday they are investigating the circumstances that led to the discovery of at least 19 bodies found drifting at sea.

At around 11:30 a.m. local time on Wednesday the St. Kitts and Nevis Coast Guard responded to a report of a drifting vessel off the coast of Nevis. The partially submerged boat contained decomposed human remains. It was towed to St. Kitts, where police and medical officials are conducting investigations.
5 bodies allegedly found off TnT waters too but the boat sank before investigations could be carried out.


The echo chamber can breathe sigh of relief, though.
No great mericans affected.
But Trump could be responsible, who knows?

Another case of a Ghost Ship?

Remember the mysterious cases from the 1990s-2000s of small old ships showing up in the Caribbean with petrified human remains? (For e.g. Barbados in 2006.) This is prolly just another case of such-- Africans attempting to make it to Spain or other near parts of Europe and ending up drifting westwards instead. Sad.

There was a similar incident just off Grand Turk last year. or maybe two years ago.

A hotel worker there was telling me that there is quite a bit of human trafficking between there and Bahamas?
