First responders, a company called SeaTow and others are being credited with making a miraculous recovery of over a dozen people after a 115-year-old schooner capsized in Maine’s Kennebec River off of Bath on Friday. The Mary E was built in 1906 in Bath and is now owned by the Maine Maritime Museum. Once a cargo vessel, it had sunk…
"It tilted more and more, very slowly, and you first saw water in the railing ... eventually it was lying flat," Nordlander added.
However, Timm did say that the ship has been turned back upright and was brought to the museum's dock on Sunday afternoon. The Coast Guard also did not comment on a cause for the ship having capsized. But a representative said its investigation is being conducted in conjunction with the National Transportation Safety Board and that the Mary E"is an inspected passenger vessel."
Reached by phone on Monday, Matt Culen, the most recent owner of the Mary E prior to the museum taking it, said he did not have any major issues with the boat and would not speculate on what caused it to roll over.While Nordlander has not heard back from officials on the cause of the ship capsizing, he did recall a strong gust of wind blowing Mary E shortly before it capsized.
