Ferry Hits Hampshire Pier: 23 Rescued

Twenty-three people have been rescued from a ferry after it hit a pier in Hampshire, the coastguard has said. The coastguard was called shortly after 9.20pm on Friday and two lifeboats from Calshot were dispatched to the scene. Sath Naidoo, operations manager at Hythe Ferry, told the Dorset Echo the vessel's wheelhouse was severely damaged after it became "wedged" under Hythe pier.
