Beached Barge

Photos of the barge that ran aground in the Sandbridge area of Virginia Beach.

From the Virginian-Pilot:

"The unmanned barge, named La Princesa, was being towed off Cobb Island about 2 a.m. when the cable connecting it to the tug snapped, said Capt. Mark Ogle, the commander of Sector Hampton Roads and captain of the port. The barge was headed from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Pennsauken, N.J. The tug continued to shadow the barge as it drifted toward the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, Ogle said. Officials, worried that the barge would drift toward and hit the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, sent another tug to try to corral the barge, but it hit 20-foot seas and had to turn around.

"The first tug continued to follow the barge, which passed Virginia Beach and headed toward Sandbridge where it became grounded off shore about 6:30 a.m. today. It grounded in front of the southernmost condominium development in that area, Burket said. The barge is carrying about 30 different types of chemicals, Ogle said. They are enclosed in 40- to 45-foot containers. "
