The fishermen of the Z-296 discovered the boat on Thursday afternoon in the Pas de Calais and called in the help of the English coastguard, says Van Belzen (46). ,,He was just busy bringing another boat with refugees to safety and would come back later. But we didn’t want to sail away and leave those people alone. Children cried, women panicked. As a crew we immediately agreed: we are staying!”
