On the 11th of August at 4.40am a Korean fishing trawler was fishing for southern whiting on the Chatham Rise, near the Chatham Islands but for some reason the trawler was sinking! So the trawler sent out a "mayday" "mayday" to the closest ship. So the Atlantis came speeding to the rescue and tugged the Korean fishermen from the trawler to safety . Then the 45 sailors had to stay on Atlantis but they didn't get to sleep in cabins and the cook was probably so stressed. But they got them all to safety in Christchurch. The Atlantis crew are our heroes.
