An Australian-flagged yacht, Tai Tam, sank after colliding with a whale in the Southern Pacific Ocean. The 15-meter yacht, carrying a four-member crew, was struck by the whale, punching a hole in its hull. Despite attempts to plug the leak, the yacht became unsalvageable. The crew abandoned ship and spent 17 hours in a lifeboat before being rescued by a passing cargo ship. Maritime New Zealand coordinated the rescue operation.
