Shipwreck Island Beach State Park, Heavy Wind/Tides move vessel closer to dunes
The grounding of the Bear, a scallop boat that weighs 72 tons and draws 8-feet of water, elicited a response from the U.S. Coast Guard, the Seaside Park and Seaside Heights fire companies, plus TowBoatUS crews from the local area as well as Atlantic City, where a more powerful vessel was launched to unground the Bear. Those efforts, thus far, have failed. There was no indication as to how much fuel remained on board or if it was at risk of leaking, however a spokesperson for Coast Guard Station Barnegat Light said the agency confirmed that there were no immediate safety hazards and the boat’s crew escaped uninjured.

Mike Tumolo, Seaside Park Fire Chief, said the exact reason the boat ran aground is not yet known, however the crew members did spend the night on the beach as they waited for the vessel to be ungrounded. The tide went out before the tow boat could free the Bear, however, and the vessel settled into the sand where it has remained ever since.
