Pollution responders from Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound and Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection oversaw the removal of a 53-foot sailboat that sank in the Connecticut River near Old Lyme, Connecticut Feb. 20, 2019.
A commercial salvage company used float bags and dewatering pumps to re-float the sailboat.
During the salvage operation, no fuel was released into the Connecticut River. The sailboat was removed from the water for further examination.
The sailboat originally sank Jan. 27, 2019. The cause of the sinking is still under investigation.
