The fishing boat Mucktown Girl was returning to Canso , N.S. , with five crew aboard on March 11, 2022 , when it was disabled by electrical problems.

The captain called for a tow from the coast guard as a storm was closing in.

After a seven-hour voyage, the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Jean Goodwill reached the drifting boat and attached a 300-metre tow line.

But as the weather turned rough, the bollard broke off six hours into the recovery mission.

The decision was made to let the fishing crew ride out the storm rather than attach another tow line that could damage the boat.

“Without emergency drills using realistic scenarios, and their subsequent evaluation, vessel crews may not have the most effective equipment and may not be well prepared to use it in the safest and most effective manner,” the report says. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 21, 2024 ..
