The Canadian Coast Guard is trying to figure out what to do with a steel-hulled vessel that escaped its moorings last month in Halifax s Bedford Basin and drifted to the shores of a small island, where it sits today.
The Hydra Mariner snapped free of its mooring buoy in Wrights Cove, just adjacent to the Dartmouth Yacht Club, overnight on Jan. 16 and ran aground on nearby Navy Island.
Kyle Jarvis, a senior response officer with coast guard s environmental response program, said the priority since then has been to make sure it stays put and doesn t leak any pollutants.
