The tow was passed from the Block Island to the Elm and later transferred to the tug Colleen McAllister crew, who moored the Beth McAllister in Morehead City, N.C.

Today a group of cadets at the West Carteret High School NJROTC unit were privileged to get underway on the USCG Cutter Block Island for several hours. It was a great experience.

USCG DID START TOWING THE TUG BUT THERE LINE BROKE, SO THE COLLEEN MCALLISTER CAME TO THE RESCUE TO SAVE THE DAY. COLLEEN IS THE ONE WHO TOWED THE TUG TO A SAFE PORT.
