UNITED STATE Coast Guard uploaded this photo of the tugboat as it was sinking
UNITED STATE Coast Guard Sector Charleston reported the other day that the USCG and companion companies were reacting to a 59-foot press pull that sank Tuesday evening about 3 miles off North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Horry County Fire Rescue workers saved the 3 team participants aboard the pull. Other companies reacting consisted of North Myrtle coastline rescue team.
“The vessel is currently in 30 feet of water, and has approximately 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel on board. There are no reports of shoreline impacts, and the vessel’s owner is coordinating with local salvage to mitigate environmental and waterway impacts,” industry Charleston claimed on its Facebook web page. “Coast Guard teams are examining the website to establish if there is a certain navigational risk.
“The Sector Charleston Command Center has issued a safety marine information broadcast and requests the public transit the area with caution as this operation is ongoing.”
Irritatingly, the message did not determine either the vessel or its proprietor.
However, a reply to one of the comments on the Sector Charleston Facebook pos t on the event made a recognition of the tugboat that sank as the Jacqueline A and North Myrtle Beach Rescue Squad uploaded an image of a life buoy significant “Jacqueline A” on its Facebook page.
If that recognition is precise, after that the vessel is a twin screw tugboat ranked at 680 horse power that was constructed in 1981
