Caroline Sinks - Radio Bulletins 20th March 1980 by Colin Barrett published on 2011-08-21T16:32:20Z In the hours after the ship from which Radio Caroline broadcast - the MV Mi Amigo - sank approximately 13 miles off the coast of Clacton, Essex (UK), the land-based UK radio networks were full of the news that the infamous pirate radio station that had broadcast since Easter Sunday, 1964, was finally sunk. This recording contains edited excerpts from radio news bulletins broadcast by BBC Radio One, BBC Radio Two, Capital Radio (London), LBC News Radio (London) and IRN (the Independent Radio News feed that was supplied to ILR stations by LBC). It also features a lengthy interview with Steve Gordon, who was the last voice to be heard from the ship just minutes before the staff and crew abandoned ship on that stormy night of 20th March 1980.
