I came across this odd story this morning about a ship disappearance that can't be blamed on our ol' friends the Somali pirates. RIA Novosti is reporting that a Maltese-owned, Russian-crewed cargo ship, the Arctic Sea,
has gone missing in the Atlantic off the coast of Portugal. The ship was due in the port of Bejaia, Algeria last Wednesday, but no one has heard from them since July 28 - the ship has apparently disappeared.
What makes this story even stranger is that while sailing in the Baltic Sea a few days earlier, the Arctic Sea was boarded by a group of men claiming to be the police, who tied up the crew and searched the ship for 12 hours before releasing them.
We'll keep following this pretty weird story...
