2000 gallons?? Must have been a big boat. Any idea of size or where it was tied up?

It was the Miss Edith, one of the bigger stern-rigs. Had just taken on fuel the night before, and it was on it's side, on the bottom, when the crew got there to go fishing in the morning.

The stern-riggers are usually kept in decent shapre there, so something out of the ordinary must have happened, especially for it to go so quickly.

They have it righted, and the fuel vents were plugged by a diver, so things are moving in a positive direction. I guess they'll need a big crane to get her off the bottom.
