The sinking of the ship F174 took place on the night of December 25–26, 1996, off the coast of Sicily, in the Mediterranean Sea. An old, severely overloaded wooden ship transporting illegal immigrants from India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan to Italy sank 19 nautical miles, (22 miles; 35 km) from Portopalo di Capo Passero in Sicily (Italy), under questionable circumstances, and came to rest under 108 metres (354 ft) of water. The number of deaths remains unknown, but at least 283 men, women and children perished.

  • In der Nacht vom 25. auf den 26. Dezember 1996 kamen beim Untergang des Bootes F 174 mindestens 283 Migranten aus Indien, Sri Lanka und Pakistan vor Kap Passaro, der Südspitze Siziliens, ums Leben. Beim Versuch von Schmugglern, die Menschen bei stürmischer See mit vorgehaltener Waffe von dem honduranischen Frachter Yiohan auf das kleinere maltesische Boot F 174 überzusetzen, kollidierten die beiden Boote und F 174 sank. Es handelte sich dabei um das größte Schiffsunglück im Mittelmeer in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der Unfallort wurde jahrelang von den Fischern von Portopalo di Capo Passero geheim gehalten, und die juristische Aufarbeitung dauerte noch Jahre. (de)

  • The sinking of the ship F174 took place on the night of December 25–26, 1996, off the coast of Sicily, in the Mediterranean Sea. An old, severely overloaded wooden ship transporting illegal immigrants from India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan to Italy sank 19 nautical miles, (22 miles; 35 km) from Portopalo di Capo Passero in Sicily (Italy), under questionable circumstances, and came to rest under 108 metres (354 ft) of water. The number of deaths remains unknown, but at least 283 men, women and children perished. This event was, at the time, the worst maritime disaster in the Mediterranean Sea since World War II. It has since been surpassed by several other migrant shipwrecks. The disaster is known in Italy as the Strage di Natale (Christmas massacre) or Portopalo massacre. The fishermen of Portopalo became aware of the disaster when they began to recover human remains and other evidence in their nets. However, they and practically all of the other residents of Portopalo failed to report it to the authorities, fearing that government action would interfere with their livelihood. La Repubblica reporter Giovanni Maria Bellu finally broke the story, leading to much soul searching in Italy over the indifference to the fate of illegal immigrants. (en)
