YACHT
SINKS IN BARGE INCIDENT
|
SALISBURY, MD. - A sport fishing yacht
sank in the Wicomico River about five miles west of
Salisbury, Md., after a diesel barge knocked a piling into
it early this morning. The Coast Guard received a report
from the master of the Tug Merrimac at about 1:45 a.m. that
his diesel barge had hit the piling about half a mile from
the Quantico Wharf and struck the port bow of the 46-foot
sport fisher Snoopy II. No one was hurt, and the diesel
barge did not rupture. About two gallons of the Snoopy II's
fuel have leaked out, and absorbent boom has been placed
around the area. All but the flying bridge of the boat is
underwater. The Coast Guard is investigating the incident
with the Maryland Department of the Environment and the
Wicomico County Sheriff's Office.
