The 75 foot fishing vessel Olympic Javelin became disabled off Montauk Point, New York.   The fishing vessel had suffered engine problems and went adrift.   The crew contacted the Coast Guard who sent the cutter Brainbridge Island out from Sandy Hook, New Jersey to the scene.   The cutter took the Olympic Javelin under tow back to Barnegat Light where another fishing vessel took the Olympic Javelin under tow back to port.   None of the four men on board were injured.  No reports of damage or pollution being released.

Jonas Sinks

Jonas Sinks

The 86 meter long self-propelled barge Jonas broke-in-two and sank at Amsterdam, Netherlands.   The Jonas was at the OBA Bulk-Terminal at Westerhaven Way loading coal when the vessel’s back broke and the vessel sank.  The deckhand was rescued, but the master of the Jonas perished.   Rescuers have sent divers to look for the captain who was found trapped in the wheelhouse.  The Jonas now rests in 14 meters of water.
