    A 50-meter yacht with traditional lines called "Espadarte" had a fire onboard a few days ago. The yacht is a old vessel being built in 1968 as the "Donapila II". Apparently the fire happened in the engine room and is known to have been generally contained to the engine room. 16 persons were rescued from the yacht. The vessel was towed to Salerno. The incident was said to have happened off Agropoli, Italy on October 9th.
