Commercial Trawler Salvage

[Billfish715]

Does anyone know the story about a commercial trawler that was delivered to Pt. Pleasant on a barge this weekend. The Coast Guard that I talked to were kind of tight lipped. One officer did say that it was brought in from a location not too far from the inlet. It was an old vessel with its gear still intact and with some damage to its bow caused by the sling from the crane that was holding it.

The CG was checking for oil spills today. The vessel is just west of the Warfside Restaurant on Channel Drive. I'm curious to know what happened to it. It sure looks like something the artificial reef committee might want to investigate. I doubt that it will be repaired. The vessel in question is the Anna T.
