Maine fishing trawler that grounded during weekend storm will be demolished
A fishing trawler that wrecked on rocks off the coast off Cape Elizabeth during Saturday’s historic storm, and required a harrowing early-morning rescue, is a total loss and will be removed over the next few days, a salvage business owner said Wednesday. The F/V Tara Lynn II crashed into the rocks early Saturday off Trundy Point, a few miles south of Portland Head Light. The vessel came to rest too close to shore for traditional boats to get close enough to retrieve the crew, as winds gusted to 50 mph and 6-foot waves pummeled the shore. On Wednesday, the vessel remained in place about 300 feet offshore in Cape Elizabeth. The demolition and removal will take several days, said Parker Poole, who runs the towing and salvage company Determination Marine. more, >>click to read<< 08:53
