Turkish sailors aboard an oil tanker rescued a French adventurer who had been lost in the Atlantic Ocean for 137 days.
Turkish media reported, on Monday, that the rescue operation took place on June 24 and lasted for several hours.
Turkish sailors aboard the oil tanker launched the rescue operation after receiving a warning message from the US Coast Guard.
In the details, the sailors rescued the adventurer, Didier Bouvard, whose traces were lost for 137 days while he was sailing in the Atlantic Ocean with his small 6-meter boat.
The French adventurer started his journey from the Canary Islands, but he did not reach the scheduled destination.
The rescue operation took 6 hours and took place off the coast of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea.
The captain of the Turkish ship, Captain Necati Dogan, said he had received a call from the US Coast Guard saying that a boat was in distress more than 200 miles off the coast of northern Puerto Rico.
He told the coast guard that he was unable to reach the boat.
