TUS RUNS ASHORE
AND LOSES A TOW
ENROUTE FROM N. Y.
"Townsend" With 3 Crewmen
Aboard Aground in Oregon
Inlet; Tow Still Missing
The soagoinR tug W J. Town
send with three men aboard was
still agi-onnd Thursd.ny morning
after running onto a sand bar
at Oregon Inlet on Saturday
afteiTioon. Tlie Coast Guard is
still searching for a 4,000 ton
dvydock sction the tug lost in
'•the Atlantic when a towline
parted as the tug was enroute
from New York to Charleston.
The section had not been found
on Thursday morning, despite
aircraft search attempts by the
tug’s owner, Charleston Dry
Dock & .Shipbuilding Co.
An advisory warning to mar
iners was issued by 5th Coast
Guard Headquarters last Satur
day aftenioon telling that the
missing wooden section, 116 feet
long and 88 feet wide, is a pos
sible menace to navigation.
The tug went agi-ound shortly
after 8 p.m. on Saturday while
headed into the Outer Banks for
1, repair.s. The cutter Chilula was
oidered to the scene from More-
head City after a call from as
sistance was radioed to Oregon
Inlet Coast Guard Station.
An unsucce.s.sful attempt was
made to I'oflnat the tug at high
tide on Sunday night, and an
other attempt to get it off on
Monday by the Coast Guard met
with failure.
The grounded craft had nine
of her crow removed by a Coast
Guard ve.sscl on Tuesday morn
ing. She is reported to be in no
immediate danger. The Cliiltila
is reported to have lines on the
tug.
Lost Section
Tlie Townsend lost its tow on
the dry dock .section about 7:15
Friday, somewhere off the Vir
ginia-North Carolina Coast. Its
master, William Townsentl, told
the Coast Guard by radio he felt
.a surge on the tow lino and lost
contact with the section almost
at once. He said the sections
lights were burning when he last
saw it.
No effort was being made to
recover the derelict section by
the Coast Guard. A spokesmen
in Portsmouth said Sunday there
was a . “good indication” that
the seclion had sunk, since it
had not been sighted since the
tow line parted. “We’ll have to
wait for reports on its being
sighted before we can do any
thing,” ho added.
In Charleston, Louis Green,
president of Charleston Dry
Dock & Shipbuilding dis.agreed
“We think it’s floating,” he said
“It’s made of solid wood and
would float for months. We fig
ure it’s probably drifting some
where near latitude 36.16 north,
longitude 74 west.” Ho said his
firm would charger a tug to Lake
the section in if it is spotted
by the Coast Guard.
