ARLA/CLUSTER: Radio Caroline deixou de emitir à 36 anos depois de uma violenta tempestade

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Radio Caroline - 36 years ago

On March 19, 1980, a violent storm broke out off the coast of Essex.
The ship's anchor chain broke, causing the vessel to drift for 10 nautical
miles until she ran aground on a sandbank.

The ship began to take in water and after struggling for eight hours with
portable pumps the four-man crew - including DJs Stevie Gordon and Tom
Anderson - conceded defeat and were rescued by lifeboat.

At 23:58 that night the final broadcast on board the *Mi Amigo* was made.

A new ship, the *MV Ross Revenge* eventually sailed out into the North Sea,
and is still sometimes used for broadcasts permitted with special licences,
cooperation with Manx Radio,  or just online. Many of the old djs love to
revisit the ship, usually for broadcasts from time to time.

The station continues online 24/7 here Radio Caroline
