Cluney Pardy’s family owned fishing vessel is listing at a 45-degree angle in Musgrave Harbour
A family’s fishing vessel — and their family business — is keeled over in Musgrave Harbour after wicked storms that blasted the northeast coast of Newfoundland. Fisherman Cluney Pardy says the Baccalieu Endeavour was discovered on Tuesday afternoon listing on the port side. “When we got there the boat was listed out a bit,” he said. “We put a loader on her but we couldn’t hold her, she just kept going on her side.” Pardy says he has no idea what caused the boat to push over — but he knows it’s a big loss for him and his family business. A very sad situation. Click here to see more images, and read the story 15:43
