Coast Guard: 'Capt. Jim' Had
All Required Safety Equipment
BY SUSAN USHER
The Calabash charter boat "Capt.
Jim,” which burned and sank OcT. 10.
apparently had on board all required
safely equipment, according to a
preiiminury invesligaliuii by iiiv u.S.
Coast Guard.
Those required items include 120
adult life jackets, four life “floats,’’
four portable fire extinguishers and a
ring bouy with waterproof light at
tached. indicated Lt. Commander
Keith Moll, chief of the investigations
department of tlie Coast Guard's
Marine Safety Office in Wibuington.
Unlike life "rafts,” which mu.st be
inflated, Moll said the floats aboard
the "Capt. Jim" were "ready to use
units." With styrofoam around tlie
outside and webbing inside,
passengers can sit inside them or
stay in the water and use them to re
main afloat.
When last inspected in March, the
vessel was in good shape, passing all
requirements for its type of vessel,
he noted. “We found the ship to be in
good condition whenever we in
spected it." he .said. “If there was
ever a discrepancy, Capt. (Jimmy)
Stevens either corrected it im
mediately or had it corrected before
we called it to liis attention. He seems
to be a very responsible operator."
The “('apt. Jim" was a double-
decker boat certified to can y up to
120 people withiu 20 miles of the
coast.
As is standard practice, said Moll,
its supply of 120 aduli life jackets was
divided for storage, so that the flota
tion ilevices could be pa.sscd out on
both decks in the event of an
emergency and so that a fire or colli
sion at one point wouldn’t prevent
reaching at least .some of the equip
ment.
Moll’s office is completing its in-
ve.stigalion of the Oct. 10 fire. Molls
said Stevens and .several of his crew
members were interviewed, with
statements obtained from all of
them.
Investigators are also conUicting
passengers, which has .slowed com
pletion of the report since many were
from out of the area, said Moll.
“Some of them have lx?cn difficult to
conUicl."
'riic Interviews and re.search of the
vessel’s records will be used in com
piling the final report. "We’re trying
to detennine as lx\st we can the se
qucnce of evenl.s and what
happened." he .s^iid.
Ijopcfiilly, he added, tlic report
be completed and sent to the Ccasi
Guard district office in Portsmouth.
Va., “sometiine next week." then
forwarded to headquarters in
Washington. D.C.. for review.
'riie report will include tlie office’s
finding of facts, conclusions and
recommendations.
'Fhe 68-year-old Stevens suffered
.several broken ribs in the blaze,
which he sitspccLs was caused by an
electrical fire that began in Dr-
engine room.
His 56 passengers and five erew
members jumped into the Allanlii
Ocean and were .soon rescued by
private boats in the area.
From his marina in Calabash, tlie
veteran mariner also operale.s the
"Gulf Stream II."
