Gibraltar (U.K. territory), October 11, 2008--Surf pummels the foundering Fedra cargo ship, caught against the unforgiving rocks of Gibraltar's southern tip (map) after having been torn from its anchor line by a force 8 gale.

British and Spanish authorities joined forces to try to salvage the bulk carrier, but the ship was a total loss. The crew, however, was airlifted to safety.
