Last Wednesday evening, a 40-foot house boat washed ashore on the beach in the Assateague Island National Seashore about a mile south of the entrance to the Over-Sand Vehicle (OSV) area. Early Halloween morning visitors to the island reported seeing the vessel on the beach in the early morning fog last Thursday, adding to the mystery of the unoccupied vessel. However, National Park Service officials were well aware of the origin of the vessel as early as last Wednesday evening and were already taking steps to mitigate the mystery ship.
According to AINS Chief Ranger Ted Morlock, an on-duty ranger discovered the house boat on the beach around 7:30 p.m., or just after dark, last Wednesday. Morlock, who was notified about two hours later, said rangers discovered no fuel was leaking and were notified the vessel had been released by its owner while being towed and had nobody on board.

So much for an alien abduction.
ReplyDeletepoor old boat, at one time it was somebody's pride and joy.
ReplyDeleteSo now the owner isn't responsible and I go swimming this Spring and Summer I have to worry about stepping on broken glass and nails because of this crap. He should be charged criminally.

ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? If you're worried about a little broken glass & nails still being there in 6 months, you clearly have no idea how tides work... or oceans, for that matter. Shards of glass, metal cans, etc. come & go through there all the time. Also, the article states that criminal charges are pending.
Glass is sand fired and poured. Back to Nature...
