This is “photographically” one of my favorite ships. So glad everyone on board was unharmed.
NEWPORT, R.I. — Rhode Island’s educational tall ship, the Oliver Hazard Perry, lost power Sunday evening and drifted into multiple boats before grounding near Perrotti Park, according to a news release from the Coast Guard’s First District headquarters in Boston.
Station Castle Hill in Newport was providing a safety zone Sunday evening.
The tall ship, whose home port is in Newport, was leaving Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival with a crew of 12 when it lost power, the news release said. The 911 call came in at 6:15 p.m.
Two boats from Castle Hill and personnel from the Narragansett Bay Marine Task Force responded.
No injuries or fuel leaks were reported. The incident is under investigation.
The Oliver Hazard Perry, a 200-foot-long three-masted ship that took eight years to build, was finished in 2015. It’s a modern ship with a steel hull, but it was designed to look like a naval vessel of the early 1800s. It is the largest civilian sailing school vessel in the nation.
Perrotti Park is where passengers from cruise ships are ferried to spend time visiting in Newport.
