HERALD OF FREE ENTERPRISE
The 7,951-ton roll-on-roll-off British car ferry "Herald of Free Enterprise", belonging to Townsend Thoresen, lies on its side off the Belgian port of Zeebrugge, a mile outside the port, 07 March 1987 surrounded by rescue and refloating boats. The English cross-channel car ferry Herald of Free Enterprise capsized and sank just after leaving Zeebrugge harbour, 06 March 1987, killing 193 passengers, because the bow doors had been left open after departure, and water flooded the car decks. / AFP / BORIS HORVAT AND JEAN MEUNIER (Photo credit should read BORIS HORVAT,JEAN MEUNIER/AFP via Getty Images)
