Ship Fire Off CApe Ann

[kloudie1]

Friends sailing north of Boston right now are reporting a ship, maybe tanker, afire around Cape Ann.. No Coast Guard chatter or any other info on VHF.. No CG standing by.. Seems curious??
Anyone know anything about that .. I can't find news feed on the 'net referencing it.

I work in Gloucester and didn't hear anything. Will let you know if anything turns up.

Re: Ship Fire

No smoke, nothing on the news either.

There was a 35 ft fishing vessel off Ten pound island that caught fire yesterday. But that is pretty close to shore.

That looks like an orange emergency evacuation vehicle not a fire. Lol.

I see no fire. Just the life boat.

There was lots of smoke early on .. ya can see the fire around the base of the stack.. A tug went by and asked if they needed help and they refused aid.. handled it themselves, I guess. My friends who took the picture are in Portland now.. docked by DeMillo's (SP?). Boat (Beneteau 43) named Ida Lou. They are headed "Down East" from Oriental, North Carolina.
EDIT: Moved the boat to Falmouth to be closer to some friends' places

Just missed them. We left DiMillos yesterday to return to our place in Vermont. DiMillos was a madhouse this past weekend. At the parts I remember!
