The captain of a luxury cruise liner carrying British tourists has been praised for fending off pirates who tried to attack his ship.
The Seabourn Spirit was 100 miles off Somalia in Africa when pirates attacked the vessel with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades. |
 All I can say |

Unfortunately not. In recent years they appeared quite regularly, but actually not towards passenger ships. |
