Goosefish works on this boat. He wasn't onboard when it went down fortunately.

The first sinking was caused by the crew being in auto pilot, asleep down below and still drugged out on cocaine when it hit the tow line of the tug and flipped. The first responders heard the trapped crew banging from the inside, had no way to get to the men, by the time a state dive team got to them they had drowned.

Yikes. I hadn't heard the tow boat story before. I can see why my captain never told me. Ignorance is bliss.

I've never heard "asleep" and "drugged out on cocaine" in the same sentence before.

anyone know exactly where she went down? Still there? assume not..

JackK · 01-06-2011, 01:25 PM

Interesting Kevin Baconning on this story... I work with Jim. Glad to hear that she came in safely, and the crew only went down in a few feet of water. I agree though- might be time for her to be retired. Bad juju. I'd be leery of it.

goosefish · 01-06-2011, 01:27 PM

She went down 50 feet from the Town Dock. A load of sea herring on board.

pssst: coke isn't a depressant.

Just talking with some people, and what's listed in the article isn't even half of what's happened to that boat! Serious juju!

Clammer:
Tautog has a good story about something like that back in the day. bottom line, he didn't want to stop or slow down; if the water/weight shifted, who knows what it would do to the boat..... Maybe Damiscotta felt the same way?

Clammer · 01-06-2011, 09:52 PM

RRI
sounds right or maybe they were in no condition to stop or maybe searched ,..
also time to go f I s h i n g

We only hold hands, he says you get jealous when he spoons with other men.

RIROCKHOUND · 01-07-2011, 09:45 AM

Actually, Nebe likes to call it Ladelling. I'm just his spoony call when Goosefish isn't available

As RIR stated I had a situation come up where I hesitated stopping for the CG because of the potential of shifting the water. We were coming back from Coxes and I noticed that we were pushing more water in the bow than normal. This was a 65' wooden head boat with 45 pax onboard. I went down below to the 2nd compartment, which was quite large and it was 3/4 full. My guess was that I blew seacock or I opened up a seam. I was 15+ miles off Brenton reef and and the weather was moving in faster than they said. It was a beautiful morning but on the way in it was up to 30+ and this was in Marchcalled my father and he headed out with a 40' utility boat that we had to assist. I was plowing pretty good at this time but felt that I was holding ok at the speed I was doing.I. I had all pax put on lifevests and get out of the cabins on the rails as a precaution. The CG heard my radio talk with my father and headed out. A little south of the #2 bouy off Brenton they wanted me to stop and put crew and pumps on. I told them I was headed for Castle Hill Cove (or a beach) and my judgement was if I stopped the load might shift and I might have a loss of steering and control. I felt good about my decision since I had been 15 miles with no changes. I docked at CHC and after assesing the situation the CG were ok with my decision since it was only one watertight compartment with a problem. It turned out to be a seacock and fortunately for me it was a good ending to what could have been a disaster. Sometimes I think back and question my decision but at the time I felt it was the proper one.
