A ship that took on water in Lake Superior likely had a stress fracture in its hull, the U.S. Coast Guard said Tuesday, backing off an initial report that the freighter had struck something below the surface last weekend.

"The initial report to the Coast Guard was that the heard a loud bang and started taking on water near the bow," Snyder said.
