Aquila fatal accident inquiry to resume next week

The inquiry into the capsizing of a Maryport fishing boat off the coast of Scotland, which killed three fishermen, will conclude next week.

Three crew members of the Aquila drowned when their scallop fishing boat overturned off Ardnamurchan in July 2009.

Tony Hayton, Peter Hilton and Martin Sanderson, all from Maryport, were killed. Fourth crewman, Timmy Rowley, managed to survive by grabbing planks to help him float. He was collected by a passing yacht.

The Fort William Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that the fatal accident inquiry will reopen on Wednesday.
