Old news to some perhaps but probably not everyone.

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.
