Girl Rescued from Sea While Floating on Inflatable Unicorn

May 2024 · 2 minute read

A Greek ferry rescued a young girl who was found floating on an inflatable unicorn in the middle of the sea.

Reports from local media in Greece indicate that the child, approximately four years old, was swept out into the Gulf of Corinth off the coast of Antirrio by strong currents.

Upon realizing that their child had drifted out of sight, the parents contacted port officials who, in turn, alerted the captain of a local ferry on the Rio-Antirrio route.

A video captured by a passenger on the ferry shows the moment when the girl was spotted floating on the unicorn.

“I was approaching the port of Antirio and I was notified by the Port Authority that a child, who I did not expect to be so small, had been swept away by the currents on a nearby beach, which is near the port pier,” said Captain Grigoris Karnesis to the Greek City Times.

“She was frozen from fear, because the current was very strong. I put the ship in such a position so as not to affect the small inflatable. I placed it in such a way that the ship was not affected by ripples, because if the inflatable sank we would have serious problems. We approached slowly and were able to rescue the child.”

Fortunately, the rescue went well.
