Luxury Cruise Ship Outruns Pirates
I expected to read about a movie set that was mistaken for a real pirate attack but there really was a pirate ship that attacked a cruse ship. The cruse ship, the Nautica, was attacked by pirates off the coast of Yemen. There was no one injured in the attack and they arrived on time to their destination of Salalah, Omen. It is apparently not unusual for their to be smaller attacks on smaller boats but this was the first attack on a ship this size, this year. It's emphasised that the ship was off the coast of Yemen not Somalia because Somalia is a known to be a base for pirates. I personally didn't think that pirates were really, but now I have have read this article and some others that are similar to this one I think it's really weird that there is still pirates. The cruse ship could have avoided the whole situation be avoiding the area. The captains were aware that the area could have had pirates near but they didn't believe it was a major threat.
