Bowen Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 A friend of mine is on this cruise right now, she said they woke up last night when there was a big lurch, but no one found out what happened until this morning. I went to see what I could find. Can I post links here? https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/cruise-ship-strikes-fishing-boat-near-nantucket/2794495/ I posted this in the entirely wrong place. Sorry about that, no coffee yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 From reading other sites, the fishing boat hit the pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowen Posted July 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 I was wondering which order things happened in. Crazy! I guess it can be very dark out there? It seems unfathomable that they didn't see the ship. Doesn't the ship have some lights on at night? I'm always asleep by 10, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Yes, cruise ships are typically well lit. Master of the fishing boat has got some explaining to do. Vancity Cruiser, PPPJJ-GCVAB and teddy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Norwegian Pearl is docked in Bermuda now (I watched it on the webcam an hour ago) and looks fine to me. Must have been scary for those on the Gabby G…the Pearl is a monster! Bowen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowen Posted July 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 I read there was only one injury, a cut on a passenger on the fishing boat that was treated on site. Thank goodness, I'm sure it could have been much worse. WAAAYTOOO, PPPJJ-GCVAB and CharmMicah68 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmMicah68 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Yeah, the Gabby G is going to lose that one.... SemperMom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimb Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 It seems more concerning that the Pearl while being responsible for all their passengers was not able to radio this boat as it came close or maneuver out of harms way. I would bet that the captain of the Pearl was sleeping or not paying attention as was obviously the case with the other boat as well..
