A body found in a sunken tugboat in Hamburg’s harbour is that of the boat’s 33-year-old skipper who had been missing since the boat sank following a collision on Wednesday evening. A police spokesman confirmed the finding on Friday. The investigation into the accident and sinking remains ongoing, the spokesman added. The mooring tugboat collided with a barge on the waterway on Wednesday evening near the Neuhof jetty and sank. Rescue crews spent hours searching for the missing sailor but without any luck. The sunken boat was pulled from the water on Thursday morning.
