A cargo ship carrying salt sank off the Greek island of Lesbos on Sunday, with all but one of its 14-strong crew still missing, the Greek coast guard said.
The Comoros-flagged ship "Raptor" had departed from El Dekheila port in Egypt and was sailing to Istanbul when it reported a mechanical failure and issued a distress call early on Sunday, the Greek coast guard said.
Eight of the crew were Egyptians and the rest were Syrian and Indian nationals.
The coast guard had rescued one person, who was airlifted by helicopter in gale force winds.
