An accident happened near Guyana. A ship called MV Barima sank. 'Sank' means: The ship went under the water. More than 130 people were on the ship.
The accident happened late on Saturday night. The ship went from Georgetown to Port Kaituma. Many people slept. A big wave hit the ship. Rescue teams saved 67 people. 15 children are among them. 2 people died. 66 people are still missing.
The police look for the cause. The crew gets hard accusations. 2 crew members used cannabis. 'Cannabis' is a drug. The police hold them now. The list with the passengers was wrong. There were more people on board than on the list. This makes the search hard.
Many ships and planes help with the search. Fishermen also look in the water. The ship was very old. It was built in 1939. Guyana is a small country in South America. The accident is a sad event for the people there.
