Sources said water started seeping into the fishing vessel which was full of bricks which were to be used to hold down nets for fishing. Other boats that were in the area at the time saw the distressed fishermen and helped them as much as they could but there was no stopping the vessel from sinking.
Members of the Civil Protection Department were called to the scene to assist the four fishermen, who saw their boat sink to the bottom of the sea.
