The police in Dominica have identified two men who are in the custody of the Barbados Immigration Department after they were rescued at sea on Tuesday.
Assistant Superintendent, Ainsworth Irish, said they are Timothy Louis of Victoria Street in New Town and Davidson Etienne of Fond Baron, Loubriere.
Reports indicate that the men, together with two Vincentians, were rescued by the cruise ship Carnival Valor about 50 miles off the coast of Dominica.
The four men were in a fishing boat, name Blad.
Irish reported that Etienne, who identified himself as the captain, said the boat developed engine problems and were towed and picked up by the cruise ship which was heading to Barbados.
They were taken to the Bridgetown Port and handed over to Barbadian officials.
The police in Barbados are now conducting investigations into the matter, assistant superintendent Irish said.
Every back door person transported by these “fishermen| nets the government 1000 ec dollars. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. But that law was passed that haitians and dr citixens must deposit that amount and they forfeit it if they don’t pass back through immigration. Politicians have the duty to KNOW the effect of the laws that we/they pass. So we all in it.
Look who the captain of the boat is….hahaha the A%…..from Loubriere!!!
Just a thought, The Captain got it, its on it way to Maimi with all the dowade head.
The men are not in Barbados, they are in Dominica. I saw one of them in Newtown yesterday afternoon thats on Friday may 24th.
Davidson Etienne of Fond Baron, Loubriere.Dave boy you need to slow down.You need to look on the other side of life,Too much drama in your life.You see why i never went FISHING WITH YOU.
Thats your third time,last time every one claimed you were dead and suddenly you surfaced.
These men are gentle fishermen. When dey catch de fish they throw them back in the water. Fishes must be happy.
very good one. You call that game fishing. Fishes may be overdosed too;
Why do they bother catch them in the first place only to throw them back in the water? It makes no sense. In this case why are they out fishing anyway and fishing for what?
We have to train our {Fisher men}better than that, there seems to be so much fish but our men are not catching fish. Pocosion” might be still alive. Gone fishing my A????.
Hmmmmm….very interesting. Nice unity to see Vincentian and Dominican fishermen at sea fishing. Wonder if they had any fishing baits and other fishing equipments on the boat
when they realized that they needed help, they dump the bags of fishing reels and the bucket of bait.that was are case of carribbean ganja cooperation.
only little fishes are picked up. one day the big fishes will be picked up too.
In the days i grow up in Newtown we had Fishermen…the real thing like Elwin, Beche, Kaicoon, Scot, John Montserrat to name a few and they use Tarce (fish port) and Sen (the net) to cash fish and they could Sennea or Scot who was a Vincentian n John Montserratian would use Harpoon to get Butt. Also u knew who had boats and how many boats and who went to sea that morning so u cld be the first to go buy ur fish.
But those days Newtown dont hve Fishermen any more! We have Fisher-of-Men (the people to transport ppl back door) and the Fisher-of-Drugs (that is self explanatory)! Yet still they have Fishermen Licence and Boat register from and with the proper authority. Most boats in Newtown, are not owned by ppl in Newtown, they from places that doe have a shoreline but have rivers that run through them! If we had Fishermen in Newtown, we would hve more fish in the Fisheries in Newtown and Roseau, hve in the local supermarkets, be able to export and the price wldnt be so high EC$10 a pound, people would be able to buy more fish to eat, would be healthier and eat less chicken and be less obese!
Also when those Fishermen go out supposedly to catch fish and disappear you would know because your family and friends would report u missing as soon as u didnt come back when u were supposed to which is at the end of the day! But u only know they missing after 3 or 4 days and they not back yet or when they get shot up in their boats or the police catch them with things that dont look like fish in their boats or as in this case the Cruise Ship pass and pick them up because they were stranded at sea bc their engine fail!
So am asking the authorities to pls look at those things for me soupler/please
DNO why publish this after so long, its news you all cant get so that you all have to publish this OLD.
So long? Sir. The Carnival Valor comes into Barbados every Wednesday,and this story was also published yesterday (Thursday) in the Barbados Nation.
the police usually look at their hands in the first place to know if it’s a fisherman’s hand.if it ain’t rough,you hook!
you must be a police
the cruiship could call dominica authrities to rescue them men instead of drining them to barbados
The most important thing is that they were rescued. And, Are you saying that the Cruise Ship should call Dominica’s Immigration and wait at sea until our Immigration.Coast Guard get to the ship?
You forget is people that is on thier vacation on the ship. They took them to the next port they were heading. Just say thank you they were rescused.
the shp captain know justice dead in dominica
I was on the Carnival Valor and saw the boat and rescue myself, as it occurred on the Starboard side, where my stateroom was. They were taking on water and had been lost at sea for 4 days with no food or water after having had engine trouble. They needed immediate help, so that’s what the crew of the ship gave them.
they catching a lot of labourites fishing nowadays papa.
I hear in some states in the states they legalise the WEED we huh.
Well IF weed left the boat before the rescue and dem ship pips go for that and rescue them for the Vincy weed and crook dem by giving the Bados people part of the story.
That ship problem well high. I wander if dem bados people check out that ship, just in case.
there was no weed. Dem man was fishing for their living…..stop it all you haters.
SO WE IN NEWTOWN DAT MORE FREAKING UNLUCKY THEN.
If they doh have nothing on dem man then free up our people you know.
If Dominica have so many fishermen why we struggle to get fish?
If Dominica have so many fishermen why we only hear about them when they get caught by the police?
If Dominica have so many fishermen why they only go out at 3:am and never come back with NOT one fish?
If anyone have an answer reach me at CantFoolMe.com
Is what they fishing!! For sure it is not live fish.
3 people thought the website that you gave them was real.
If these guys had good intentions and were not involved in anything illegal, then
this story does not make sense. Here’s why: Most fishermen don’t take their travel documents when they go fishing, cuz they are within Dominica waters. It might be a good idea to do that however in the event you have engine trouble and begin to drift.
In this case what the cruise ship should have done was to contact Dominica port reporting a boat in distress, cuz they are in Dominica waters. What you taking them to Barbados for, of course they don’t have documents cuz their intentions were not to be in Barbados. (giving them the benefit of the doubt here)
I have gone fishing many times way out to sea without documents. Fortunately I have never had engine trouble. I never go without them now though
The cruise ship was not in route to Dominica so it won’t waste time on the water to alert the Dominican authority, so it will take the people to their next port of callwhich was Barbados. What we need to know is where is the boat registered and why it had two different country nationals onboard?
the big tuna coming da they will collect on there return.
Engine problem my !
That story sounds very fishy to me.
Off course its “fishy”. They were on a joint expedition of white fishing. Poor them,, they throw all the white fish back in the water.
What is fishy?
Grand Bay Girl you must be one of Davidson’s baby mama, enjoy the blood money one day so day so how it will surely come to an end
Fishy means when what you are fishing is white,and it does not reside in the sea.
fish means when something is supposed to be fish but it looks different smells different but is caught in the same manner
Yes iiiiiiii look things one after the other dominicans be positive once and for all to negative man
So why de carnival cruise ship didn’t take them back to Dominica? very mysterious to me wi! well again, it would be nice to keep them in Barbados. We do need these knuckle heads in Dominica. Just tell us their names, please!!!
So you expect a cruise ship to rearrange its itinerary just to drop off two men in Dominica?
Hahahahahahahaha
Think before all you make a comment nuh.
SMH
DAT I CHECKING THERE WII
Ebben Weh! You make it sound like the cruise ship was on a lost and found mission, and that it was supposed to return its findings to their original base? Should they have returned the Vincentians to St. Vincent too?
I will make you fishers of men if you follow me
Only 50 miles off the coast of Dominica and the Dominica Police boat didn’t see that one under their noses? Where was the Dominica police “fishing boat?”
it was fishing to
But Frabo you doh tired make stupid comments!? Apparently 50 miles means 5 meters to you. Probably you brain matter too small. The Police boat do not have ‘all seeing eyes’. They don’t see eveything that going on in Dominica’s waters. We do not have high tech radar systems etc. Stupes.
Did they find any fishing hooks and line in the boat? they must have eaten the bait.
Yes Frabo, they got hooked!
The boat sank…
Immigration, this is caricom.
Two St. Vincentians and two Dominicans in an open fishing boat 50 miles out to sea? Whatever their motive, it surely had nothing to do with fish. The resue took place on tuesday 21 May and up till now we have not heard one word about this from our own
authorities. Is it a state secret?
I guessed the fishes were thrown into the sea before they rescued
Before all these negative comments dont u all think we should wait for the release of the identity of these persons?? I wish is one of all you family that was rescued!!!!
If the Barbados authorities knew their identy on tuesday your eally believe our “authorities” did not know till friday?? The cruise ship’s master would have passed the info. even before arriving in Barbados. Our coat guard are very efficient but nobody is allowed to speak these days unless they get clearance right from the top.
the names of the twop men from Dominica are included in the story, read the story properly people. Family members or not wrong is freaking wrong.
For one DOES ANY IF THESE FISHERMEN HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO ASCERTAIN THEIR NATIONALITY?
Furthermore, i am certain the Barbadian officials are positive ( and I’m sure they are not wrong) that these guys weren’t fishermen!!!)
In addition, if you are brought to another country as a result of Being rescued at sea, they are not gonna release you to roam the streets of their island/ country.
So here’s what is gonna happen! Barbados authorities are going to check their background, and if that is ok! Either these individuals have funds wired to them so that the police can escort them to the airport so they can go on a flight to their country, or if not, then Dominican authorities will have to go and get the them!!! Verify what fish they were sharing with their Vincentian Brothers.
*of*
Just about a fortnight ago, the Barbados Nation carried a story where it was revealed that the RSS / US “eye in the sky” (my words) which track drug runners, are now focusing on the point of loading operation.Even if the load is jettison, the evidence that loading took place is there,and the lab boys could then easily find traces on the vessel.
Leaves one wonders if the Cruise ship did really stumble on this boat.
OMG the load must be some where in the sea or coming into D.A shores, I need to go fishing.
I loved this one. Great laugh early in the ,morning.nice comment.
On a more serious note when will our young men learn? One sad story after another and they keep at it. What is wrong with our society?
Nice one… made me laugh load!!! Yea real regional integration for ya!!
We should hail these men as true ambassadors of OECS Unity. Two Vincentians and three Dominicans were lost at sea after their fishing vessel developed engine trouble. I wonder if they caught any “White Tuna.” Lol.
i wonder what kind of fishin they were dealing
Big, cured, dried, bulky well packaged tunas
Fishing trip -maybe or maybe not.I think the latter.
The “fishermen” of the OECS are showing the politicians how to effect OECS unity. WOW.
Reports indicate that the men, together with two Vincentians, were rescued by the cruise ship Carnival Valor about 50 miles off the coast of Dominica and was taking to Barbados Immigration Department at the time, thats where de ship was heading so why they in custody when they were found in dominica waters
Checking out their fishing story I guess, hmmmm
Go and release them nuh!
because they do not have travelling documents therefore they have to be held till they can be repatriated back to their respective countries.in other words they were rescue but they are in Barbados illegally
because they do not have travelling documents to be permitted into Barbados
Garcon, read the report again. Nowhere does it say they are in custody, they were not arrested but “handed over to the authorities” The cruise ship did nothing but resue them for which they should be grateful.
“Two Dominicans are in the CUSTODY of the Barbados Immigration Department after they were rescued at sea earlier this week.”
That’s the opening paragraph….
EYES WIDE OPEN….YOU MUST BEGIN TO OPEN YOUR BRAINS!!!!!Do you think that the cruise people should ? They should drop dem Barbados and give them pocket money like tourist or they should rescue them turn the ship back and put them on the Roseau cruiseship berth or they should just ignore them.
PUMP SOME SENSE INTO YOUR HEAD.
nice one”uwpwee,you nearly choke me,he he he hehehehehe.
As it was attached to the Carnival Valor, that too should have been impounded.
i would like to know why Dominicans on fishing boat with ST.Vincentians.did the boat depart from Dominica or st. Vincent?do the Dominican reside in st.Vincent or the other way around? something is fishy.
A small cruisehip them four fellers had
, cruising the Dominica waters.
Interested two Dominicans and two Vincentians, were rescued by the cruise ship Carnival Valor about 50 miles off the coast of Dominica in a fishing boat
Them men did not go fishing, guarantee that they dumped all the illegal stuff in the waters,they are not learning and will never learn, too many of them going on fishing trip, always fishing, and never return, seems like them fish eating them instead of them bring them fish home to eat them Barbadian officials will mot go easy with the, for sure
Well they land in the land of Fish…Bring me some RedSnappers Bros!
Everybody fishing. Imagine Dominicans and Vincentians “fishing” together in Bajan waters…hmmm. Who said CSME was not working?
Nice one
Good 1!!!lol
You definitely need to see the dentis Tom!
You got me LMAO on this one, Malgraysa. You mean dem huge pearly whites eh looking healthy enough?
Nice one!! Made me laugh load… YEA REAL REGIONAL INTEGARTION FOR YA… Well where fishing is concerned at least…smh…
yeah Good one
hahaha…
Funneee!!! Only a Dominican
man we need comments like this,on a lot of topics,it make for good reading humor, NICE ONE
Aparently not in Bajan waters but just fifty miles off shore in Dominican waters.
