A U.S. Coast Guard vessel briefly delayed a Steamship Authority vessel’s departure from Woods Hole Monday afternoon. 

Sean Driscoll, Steamship Authority communications director, confirmed with The Times that a disabled Coast Guard vessel blocked one of its ferries, the Woods Hole, from making its trip to Vineyard Haven at 1:35 pm, and led to a roughly half-hour delay.

The Coast Guard vessel has since moved, and the Woods Hole made its departure a little after 2:10 pm. 

It is uncertain what was wrong with the Coast Guard vessel. A Coast Guard representative was not immediately available for comment.

  2. Who cares, I don’t. Why report something so irrelevant. Vessels have problems even the U.S. Coast Guard, at least they had it under control. No property damage was insued in this so called loss of propulsion.

  3. In the future, I hope the Woods Hole
    ferry never needs maritime assistance?
    Never seems to surprise me how petty and unforgiving some people can be. I have a new name for Woods Hole, Snob Knob, Mass.
