Twin Lights

The 42 foot fishing vessel Twin Lights capsized off Race Point, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  The vessel was fishing in heavy swells when its gear got caught on the bottom.   The Twin Lights capsized sending its two crew into the water.  The nearby fishing vessel Glutton witnessed the event and responded to the scene.   The Glutton’s crew rescued one man from the water and attempted to find the other missing person.   The Coast Guard was notified and dispatched a rescue helicopter and two cutters to the scene.   The Twin Lights sank just as the Coast Guard reached the scene.   A search for the missing man continued into the night.   The Twin Lights now rests in 190 feet of water.

The 77 foot long fishing vessel Lori Ann went aground  in the harbour at New Bedford, Massachusetts.  The vessel had been blown free from its mooring during heavy gales and went hard aground near the hurricane barrier.   A tug was requested and attempted to refloat the Lori Ann during the next high tide.  However, the high winds and shallow water kept the fishing vessel stuck in the mud.   The Lori Ann’s fuel and water will be removed before another salvage attempt will be made.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.
