The MV X-Press Pearl, left, is pulled by a navel vessel at Kapungoda, where it is anchored off Colombo port on the outskirts of Colombo, Sri Lanka, Wednesday, June 2, 2021. Salvage experts were attempting to tow the fire-stricken container ship that had been loaded with chemicals into the deep sea as the vessel started to sink Wednesday off Sri Lanka's main port, officials said. Water submerged the MV X-Press Pearl's quarterdeck a day after firefighters extinguished a blaze that had been burning for 12 days. (Photo by Eranga Jayawardena/AP Photo)
