SAILORS this morning bid a final farewell to the flagship of the Barbados Coast Guard.

The MV Trident was scuttled in 90 feet of water to become a new wreck/dive site and eventual reef after 28 years of service.

It entered the service of the Barbados Coast Guard on February 27, 1982, after arriving in the island in November, the previous year.

It was decommissioned on April 26, 2009. (HLE)
