A commercial fishing boat named Eileen Rita capsized in Boston Harbor after running aground in shallow water. The incident led to a distress call received by the Coast Guard early in the morning. Despite the accident causing a significant fuel spill—estimated at up to 4,000 gallons of diesel—and lube oil discharge, the three crew members aboard were rescued without injuries. Ongoing investigations aim to determine the full cause of the accident while authorities monitor for environmental impacts from the spill.
None of the crew on board the boat—Eileen Rita—were injured, and Boston Police safely removed them and transferred them to land.
The Coast Guard said it received a distress call about the accident at about 7:45 a.m. and monitored potential pollution from the accident.
