2022.613.3106Sinking Barge
  • Publication, Newspaper
  • Vessels, Boat
Bar Harbor Times article about the Beal and Bunker Barge, the Moleska, sinking just off of Islesford. Clarence Beal and Harvey Bunker were aboard the vessel when it collided into the old steamboat wharf. At the time the barge was carrying a drilling rig, and this rig got caught causing the damage. The moleska got towed away back to Great Cranberry Island, where it was beached and underwent repair. On the way to GCI the moleska hit another boat, causing that boat to also have to be beached and repaired. As for the oil rig, it was towed out of the water and mechanics were able to get it up and running again.
