Fishing Vessel Ashore

 

The 40 foot fishing vessel Miss Elora went ashore near the mouth of the Gray’s Harbor, Washington.   The Coast Guard received a report that the Miss Elora was aground.  They responded sending its 47 motor lifeboat and a Jayhawk helicopter to the scene.   However, the two men on board were able to reach shore on their own using the vessel’s dinghy.   The crew of the Miss Elora was able to recover some 100 gallons of fuel, but  some 250 gallons was released into the water.   Officals are working with the fishing vessel’s owner to recover debris.

JB on the Rocks

JB on the Rocks

The 48 foot fishing vessel JB went aground on the south jetty at Grays Harbor, Washington.  The vessel with two crewmen contacted the Coast Guard who responded sending out the 25-foot and 47-foot lifeboats.   A Jayhawk helicopter was also dispatched from Astoria.   The lifeboats arrived and took the two men aboard.   The Coast Guard pulled the vessel off the rocks and attempted to tow the vessel back to Grays Harbor.   However, the hull was holed and water ingress filled the fishing vessel.   The JB sank and now rests in 15 feet of water.   The Coast Guard has stated that the vessel is not in the navigation lanes and poses no navigation hazard.   No reports of injuries.   No details on possible pollution being released and salvaging of the vessel.
