Three African migrants who were balancing on a ship's rudder were rescued by the Spanish coast guard Monday after an 11-day voyage, officials said.
The coast guard tweeted Monday that it rescued the migrants from the rudder of the Alithini II, a ship that traveled from Nigeria to the Canary Islands.
They can be seen sitting on the ship’s rudder with their backs bent, apparently because of a lack of space, in a picture shared by the agency.
According to the Spanish news agency EFE, the migrants are three men of sub-Saharan descent.
The migrants were taken to the port and treated by health services.
