BUZZARDS BAY, MA – At approximately 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 30th, a large motor yacht experienced a loss of propulsion while entering the west end of the Cape Cod Canal near the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

With no engine power, the strong eastbound current carried the nearly 100-foot, 120-ton vessel into the land cut, forcing it sideways and then stern-first. The yacht narrowly missed striking the Buzzards Bay side of the Cape Cod Railroad Bridge before continuing to drift eastward toward the canal banks.

After several tense minutes in the swift five-knot current, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Canal Patrol and Wareham Department of Natural Resources Officers arrived on scene. Canal Patrol crews successfully secured a towline to the vessel, while Wareham officers boarded from the stern to assist the crew in regaining control.

Thanks to the coordinated response, the yacht was stabilized and safely towed without injuries or further incident.
