[Watch] Russian Tall Ship Collides with Coast Guard Vessels

Russian tall ship Kruzenshtern collided with the Icelandic Coastguard vessels Thor and Tyr last week whilst manoeuvring to depart Reykjavik harbour.

The vessels were damaged but no injuries were reported.

Kruzenshtern last visited Iceland in 2009, reports Iceland Review, and it is not the first time the Russian naval cadets’ ship has hit another vessel. In August 2014, a 17m tug sunk in Denmark after being hit by the vessel.

Kruzenshtern was built in Germany in 1926 and was given to Russia at the end of World War II.
