I read about this in soundings. glad you and your family are safe.

was the collision a failure of responsible seamanship or

were there extenuating circumstances: fog, storms, etc.???

A Tug pushing a barge is a large, fairly slow moving vessel. Even at night the schooner should have seen their navigation lights. Cut her speed, moved to a safe distance, made signals or radio contact. I'm certain this wreck was avoidable. Asuming someone responsible was standing watch.

No one died. The person trapped below was able to escape and only spent the night in the hospital for observations. Luckily she had just completed her sailing instructor's certification and was well educated on how to handle the situation.

So if one was trapped below, someone died? So sad.

This occurred in the front of our Green TV filming studio and self-sustaining green research center. We are sharing it with the hopes it will bring more people to GreenTV which we fund ourselves. It was nothing less than a miracle all aboard survived. The other miracle is the Heron sunk directly in front of our 3-acre pond (which faces the C&D Canal) and home to some of the largest families of Herons on the Chesapeake Bay. Thank you and our best to you and yours, Lori Lake: GreenTV
