One dead, five missing in Irish Sea sinking (Reuters)

LONDON (Reuters) ? One man has been found dead and five are missing after a Russian-crewed cargo ship sank in gale force weather overnight in the Irish Sea, Britain's coastguard agency said on Sunday.

Two men clinging to life rafts were airlifted by a rescue helicopter co-piloted by Prince William, son of heir-to-the throne Prince Charles, a defense ministry spokesman said.

They were taken to hospital and a search was extended across a 300 square mile (780 sq km) area of sea some 20 miles off the coast of north Wales.

The 81-meter vessel Swanland, carrying 3,000 tons of limestone, issued a mayday call at 02:00 GMT reporting that its hull was cracking in the bad weather and taking on water.

William, who married Catherine Middleton at London's Westminster Abbey in April, is serving as a Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter pilot at a base in Anglesey on the Welsh coast.

He has taken part in a number of previous rescues, the defense ministry spokesman said.
