A 210 ft coastal cruise ship, the Spirit of Nantucket, struck a previously unknown submerged object south of the Pungo Ferry Bridge and began taking on water. The captain ran the ship aground to prevent sinking. Passengers have been taken off and the leakage stabilized. A salvage plan is in progress. The Atlantic ICW south of Great Bridge, VA is now closed to all commercial traffic, and recreational boats drawing more than 6 ft until further notice. For them, the only way south is around Cape Hatteras and the Outer Banks. http://content.hamptonroads.com/stor...6626&ran=68933 Did they run into the transmission you dropped? I think I know where that one is. The real mystery is where this obstruction came from. I guess it's possible that last week's storm could have moved something around. |
