I've watched that coal ship unloading out in the sound onto
coal barges in the past. I sailed around it two years ago
with my nuddy Chris.

The water where the accident occurred has a charted depth of
98' or so. I expect the wreck will become a dive site now. If
the mast is sticking up, it could be a navigational hazard.

The three people on the sailboat this time were all thrown overboard,
too. One was uninjured, one was injured slightly and the third was
pulled from the water unconsious.
