WILD NEW JERSEY: The Star Ledger: The Wreck of the Lady Mary

The Star Ledger: The Wreck of the Lady Mary

Video credit: The Star Ledger

The Lady Mary left the Port of Cape May on the morning of March 18, 2009 on a routine scallop fishing trip. The vessel with its crew of seven traveled 66 miles to the restricted scallop fishing area known as the Elephant Trunk. Some time between 5:10 and 5:40 a.m. on March 24, the boat sank and six of the seven crewman were killed. Was it swamped in rough seas? Or did a passing container ship strike the boat without ever knowing it?
