The Steamship Authority has canceled at least one round-trip on the Hyannis – Nantucket route after smoke was discovered near the bow thruster of a vessel.
The Steamship says in a statement that crew saw smoking coming from the MV Katama at about 10:30 Monday morning as it made its commute from Nantucket. Crew on board “initiated firefighting procedures,” and contacted the Hyannis Fire Department, a statement from the Steamship reads.
No firefighting measures were required, the Steamship says, and the Hyannis Fire Department left the scene within approximately one hour.
No injuries were reported.
The Steamship said that smoke was emanating from the lagging, or insulation, around the vessel’s bow thruster.
The vessel’s 10:45 am round trip was canceled while the vessel was being inspected.
The only way to eliminate SSA incompetence is to eliminate the SSA.
Just think about how cheap and easy getting to and from the Island will be.
maybe the steamship is getting into coal rolling .
Don’t know what it is ?

Why would you modify your truck this way ?
So that really stupid rednecks can impress their equally stupid redneck girlfriends by doing this; particularly to Tesla’s and bicyclist.

How do I know about this stuff ?
Because I was deliberately coal rolled by an a-holed in a red diesel truck from New jersey pulling a trailer with a landscaping machine while going up main st. on my bike last week.
The police said it is indeed illegal. Unfortunately I did not have a go pro camera on my bicycle and without a video and a plate number all the officer could do was agree that there are really stupid people that do really stupid and illegal things. But one is on it’s way. — Try it again, homey.
If you get rolled, get the plate number, report it to the police. It’s likely not an accident.
Sorry to go somewhat off topic, Sam, but since you have that 7 day rule about comments and you only post comments every few days, I have to get my comment in when I can.
