After the Russian cargo ship The Arctic Sea reportedly vanished while passing through the English Channel last month, it was found off the coast of East Africa and Russia has detained the suspected hijackers.
So, I called it wrong. When this story first broke I was convinced that it was the work of some Viking revival - aided by the fact that the cargo was timber, which naturally they need for their longboats. Apparently the hijackers were a mix of Russians, Latvians and Estonians, so certainly NOT Vikings. Coastal British monasteries can rest easy...for now.
