In pictures: 'Ghost ship' washed up by Storm Dennis

Earlier this week, an abandoned"ghost" cargo ship was discovered washed up off the coast of County Cork, Ireland, following strong winds from Storm Dennis.showed the 80-metre cargo ship MV Alta stuck on the rocks near the village of BallycottonPhotographers have now been able to visit the area and capture the dramatic sight of the rusting ship against the Irish landscape.

A power outage led to the Alta drifting at sea for 20 days around 1,300 miles south-east of Bermuda,With just two days of food left on board for Alta's crew, the coast guard air-dropped food and other supplies. As a hurricane approached, the coast guard decided to rescue the damaged ship's 10 crew members and take them to Puerto Rico.

Since then the ship has been abandoned. It was last spotted in September 2019 by a British Royal Navy ship in the mid-Atlantic.On Tuesday, personnel from Cork County Council could be seen boarding the wreck of the ship, below., according to environmental scientists who visited Ballycotton on Monday, explained Cork County Council.

Cork County Council, the Irish Coastguard and the Receiver of Wrecks will decide what will happen to the ship,
