Steamship Authority general manager Wayne Lamson said the discovery of water in a compartment below deck on the ferry Nantucket Thursday morning led to the discovery of a small crack in the hull above the water line.
As a result, the ferry was taken offline for repairs. Maintenance crews repaired the crack. Following a Coast Guard inspection she was back on schedule as of 1 pm, Thursday, Mr. Lamson told The Times in a telephone call.
