Cruise Ship Runs Aground

February 27, 2008 (by Otto Smyth)

Cruise ship lawyers Los Angeles report that the cruise ship Leylon Sneed drifted aground on February 19th at the Trunk Bay reef while loading passengers.

They have reported that no one had been injured and that the mooring chain had broken and it is thought that it was due to heavy winds.

The passengers were taken from the ship and taken by taxi to Cruz Bay according to a press release, the passengers numbered approximately 70. It was reported that most of the 70 passengers were not on board the ship at the time it ran aground.

The ship was towed off the reef at about 5:30 that evening and returned to Cruz Bay under its own power; damages if any had not been assessed. The co-owner felt that the damages when a dive would be done would be minor.

Damage to the reef will also be investigated according to reports; this is being conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Virgin Islands National Park and in continuing at this time.
