Nobody actually checked the Loran until after the grounding, when it
revealed a 15 mile error. The depth sounder was on but the alarm was
turned off. The radar did not show the entrance buoy in the correct
place, and that was ignored. Lights on Nantucket were seen when they
should have been 30 miles away.
