We were able to confirm the owner of the barge that drifted across Elliot Bay and hit a barrier at Seattle’s Waterfront, and the company responsible for tying down the barge.
SEATTLE — An unattended barge crashed into a barrier, near Pier 66, at Seattle’s Waterfront Thursday.
He shared that many private barges are not able to move in and out of the bay efficiently due to the gillnets in the area, creating delays for a number of businesses. Myers added that the strong winds along with the tide levels can significantly impact the lines that are tied between the barge/boat and the pilings on the dock.
Myers stressed Krehbiel did not have the appropriate tugboat to slow down the barge, but used a water taxi instead, which highlights his knowledge and experience as a captain, Myers said.“Very dangerous. Just one wrong move and he can sink in his boat. Crack the hall and take on water,” he said.We're so proud of Metro Water Taxi Capt.
