Ice Prince sinks of Portland.
The Greek-registered Ice Prince went down about 26 miles (42km) off Portland Bill after shedding much of its load of nearly 5,260 tonnes of sawn timber.
A coastguard spokesman said the ship had sunk at about 0045 GMT on Tuesday after being monitored throughout the night by two tugs.
It isn't expected that any of the cargo or any pollution will reach the coast for a few days yet.
So no extra tourist attraction on our beaches this week.
