One of Liverpool's historic tall ships has sunk in the city's Albert Dock.
Emergency services were called to the Zebu's mooring outside the Tate gallery at about 04:30 BST.
The boat sailed 69,000 miles and visited 41 countries for a , in 1984.
It also featured on the 成人快手's Who Do You Think You Are programme in 2008, when interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen
Albert Dock bosses said an investigation into the sinking had started.
Fire crews used special thermal cameras and lighting to search the water and check for people. No-one was hurt.
Formerly a Baltic timber trader for 30 years, the Zebu was built in 1938 and was later re-rigged as a Victorian-style Brigantine ship. It has been based at the Albert Dock since 1988.
The square rigger vessel is owned by the Mersey Heritage Trust.
A marine surveyor and a team of engineers are on site and it is hoped the vessel will be raised once safety inspections have taken place.
