Overview
- Two crew members were brought ashore after the 40-foot Legacy grounded on rocks off Atlantic Road in Gloucester on Saturday night.
- The vessel was stuck about 20 yards from shore, and a Coast Guard rescue boat could not pull it free.
- As 2- to 4-foot seas hammered the hull, first responders opted for evacuation to avoid injury.
- The crew put on survival suits and followed rescue lines to land, where firefighters evaluated them with no injuries reported.
- By Sunday afternoon the boat was described as destroyed with debris on the rocks, and the Coast Guard continued to monitor the site.
