The 40 foot long fishing vessel Demi Lynn capsized at its berth in Warren, Rhode Island.  The fishing vessel filled full of water and overturned onto its side.  No one was on the vessel at the time.  Coast Guard crews responded to the scene and place booms around the vessel to contain any pollution released.  Local firefighters plan to wait until low tide and begin pumping water out of the vessel  while divers place straps around the hull to refloat the Demi Lynn.  The Coast Guard has launched an investigation into the incident.

The 160 meter long, 14395 dwt cargo ship Ana sank just off shore of Lianjiang Road, Fuzhou, China.  The Ana been at anchor off Lianjiang since July 8 when the cargo ship had become disabled in heavy seas.   The disabled Ana tried to ride out the storm surge as Typhoon Matmo passed near the area, but the vessel’s anchor dragged.  As the Ana was being blown ashore, the crew sent out a distress call.  Chinese authorities dispatched helicopters to the scene.  All 17 crewmen on the Ana were listed to safety.  No reports of injuries.
