Watch video: Luxury yacht burns and sinks in Torquay harbour.
Plumes of black smoke billowed from a port in England on Saturday. A yacht caught fire in Torquay in the south-west of the country. According to the fire brigade, the 26-meter-long ship is said to have had around 8,000 liters of fuel on board, which is why the nearby area was temporarily cleared. Residents were asked to keep windows closed. Local media reported the yacht was valued at £6million, the equivalent of over €7million. Police later said there were no injuries. Nothing was initially known about who owned the yacht and what caused the fire.
