According to the initial report, a steering malfunction caused this fishing vessel to go aground in Oregon Inlet N.C. At this point, the main concern has been keeping it stationary until proper salvage equipment arrives tomorrow. (The Oregon Inlet Bridge is just 150 yards to leeward.)
OREGON INLET, N.C. - Coast Guard crews continue to work on freeing the grounded fishing trawler Sheila Rene Saturday near the Oregon Inlet Bar.
An Air Station Elizabeth City MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter crew hoisted the 77-foot trawler's three crewmembers and dog to safety Saturday morning as conditions worsened for them. After the crew was hoisted to safety around 7 a.m. the trawler came free and re-grounded at around 9 a.m.
