Rising tide sinks tug


Captains,
Piers and rising tides can be enough to ruin your day. Always double check your mooring.

SEATTLE - The 65-foot tug boat Island Wind belonging to Island Tug and Barge sits submerged at its dock in the west waterway of the Duwamish River, north of the Southwest Spokane St. Bridge here, Feb. 28, 2010. Investigators determined the bow of the tug boat became wedged beneath the dock at low tide, causing it to take on water and sink as the tide rose. U.S. Coast Guard photo.
