People are flocking to Svartbäck outside Borgå, Finland, to see the tanker Eagle S, which has been seized by the authorities following suspicions of cable sabotage.

Eagle S has become something of a sight, reports Hufvudstadsbladet. Many see it as a historic event and travel long distances to see the ship.

It's such a special ship that we wanted to see it, says Risto Sihvola to the newspaper.

The police are continuing their investigation simultaneously. The ship, which is flagged on the Cook Islands and is believed to belong to the Russian shadow fleet, is suspected of being behind the crime on the Estlink 2 power cable on Christmas Day.

On Monday, the interrogations continued with the ship's crew, and equipment has been seized, writes the Central Criminal Police in an update. Two images taken by the border guard show damage to the tanker's hull.

"Near the bow, there are several fresh paint scratches and impact marks, which are suspected to have been caused by the anchor chain", the police write on their website.

A roughly ten-mile long drag mark has been found on the seabed, where Eagle S is suspected to have dragged an anchor.
