The 40-foot houseboat beached itself on Assateague sometime late Wednesday or early Thursday morning during foggy conditions. It was discovered at around the 17.5 kilometer marker just south of the entrance to the Over-Sand Vehicle (OSV) area. The vacant vessel beached near the high tide line on the barrier island in the early morning fog provided a Halloween jumpstart of sorts for those who witnessed it and conjured up tales of ghost captains lost in the murky morning off the coast of Assateague, but the real story is far less intriguing.
According to Assateague Island National Seashore Chief of Interpretation and Education Rachelle Daigneault, the early indications suggest the vessel was being towed from north to south by another vessel, whose operators either lost its connection with the derelict boat or cut in loose after encountering some problem during the tow.

Someone always has to screw up a perfectly good ghost story with a logical explanation.They could have at least waited a couple days before ruining it.
why is there a 17.5 kilometer marker anywhere in this country? we use MILES dammit! the only acceptable use of the metric system is when stocking up on ammo, 7.62mm, 8mm, 9mm etc. etc. etc. kilometers are for kommies!!
Look at the hull number, poor silly thing. Then you can find the owner.
