Two other abandoned vessels were tied off to the tugboat at the time of the sinking. These have been secured and do not present a hazard to maritime traffic.

No one was aboard the vessels, but one of them did sink, SFD said in a tweet.

USCG confirmed that there were no pollutants on board. All diesel and oily water was removed in 2021 after the vessel was deemed derelict.
