Commercial Lobster Boat Stranded on Rye Harbor Jetty
Crews are working on a plan to move a boat off the jetty in Rye. The boat washed up on the inner jetty near Ocean Boulevard. Geno Marconi, Director of Ports and Harbors for the New Hampshire Port Authority, said the boat got pushed onto the rocks during high tide Monday. Marconi said the boat had been attached to a mooring that failed during the storm, causing it to float away. “It’s only as good as the equipment you put in there, but the equipment, everything mechanical is subject to failure,” Marconi said. Marconi said the owner of the commercial lobster boat has already been in contact with his insurance, and they have a plan to get it back into the water safely. Video, more, >>click to read<< 09:43
