Description:
This was one of the last photographs, taken of the Windward II. The vessel started life in 1964, as the cross channel ferry Viking II. On April 2nd 2011, she was in collision with the drillship Petrosaudi Saturn. The result of which, caused her to sink soon after. The photograph was taken from the Petrosaudi Saturn, just before the collision. The damage caused by the collision to the Saturn was $100 million. The sum was so much as the well we had drilled for PDVSA, was destroyed. The loss of $100 million was apparently Lloyds second biggest loss of 2011.

The Venezuelan Navy detained the ICON I and her crew of 7, who were charged with criminal damage to state property; the tug was handed over to the Ministry of Finance in 2012 and is no doubt mouldering away in Carúpano.
