A British family have been rescued by a warship after their yacht hit an iceberg during a round-the-world voyage.
Carl Lomas and Tracey Worth, also known as Lord and Lady Hollinsclough, were sailing to Cape Town with their daughters, Caitland and Morgause Lomas, believed to be in their teens.
They ran into trouble in the South Atlantic after hitting a low-lying iceberg similar to the one that sank the Titanic.
Falmouth Coastguard helped authorities in the Falkland Islands locate the vessel - named Yacht Hollinsclough - which had taken on water and suffered engine failure.
"What they've hit is a 'growler', where hardly anything is out of the water and the majority is submerged," a coastguard spokesman explained.
"It is very similar to what the Titanic hit. You can track them by radar or visual lookout, but you can't see them all."
The couple and their children were picked up by the British warship HMS Clyde, which is taking them on the 1,000-mile journey to the Falklands.
