10/10: Stonington Harbor Tug & Barge Incident

Here's a few more photos of Sunday's events in the harbor. The tugboat had been stuck beneath the barge, but a couple of lobster boats pulled it out- unfortunately, not all in one  piece.

As the tide went out, environmental clean-up crews worked to contain the fuel spill.

They used what appeared to be big, super-absorbant paper towels to mop up the oil.

By the end of the day, everything seemed to be under control. Despite the damaged equipment, the dredging crew is back to work.
