On the morning of October 30, the 25 meter long fishing vessel Carrabassett (MMSI: 368154980) caught fire in Buzzards Bay while berthed at Fairhaven, Massachusetts. Reports state the fire was started by welders working in the bow of the vessel. The workers attempted to put out the flames using a fire extinguisher without success. The local fire fighters were called out and were able to bring the blaze under control an hour later.
The extent of damage to the vessel’s bow was not disclosed, but there is some speculation the Carrabassett is a total loss. No reports of injuries.
