A salvage team member climbs up to inspect a crack in the side of the
grounded Italian freighter Jolly Rubino listing close to the shores of
St Lucia Wetlands Park, September 18, 2002. Salvage authorities
abandoned plans to tow the burning vessel further out to sea in an
effort to lessen the threat of an oil spill to the coastal sanctuary,
recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. REUTERS/Mike Hutchings
