A spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard said no one was injured when the boat washed ashore and that the owner ran out of gas.

They went on to say the boat poses no pollution or water danger right now and that the U.S. Coast Guard can’t remove it as it’s the owners responsibility.

That owner is out of state right now, according to the spokesperson, but they are working on a plan along with a marine salvage company to remove it.

There’s no timeline as to when it will be removed.

The vessel caught the attention of Tom and T.J. Blanchard, who were out for a walk before dinner on Thursday.
