American Pride probably looks a little pitiful – at least her crew will – after running aground in in Rainbow Harbor in Long Beach.
The Coast Guard reported that another tall ship’s crew finds itself wondering why they can’t move ahead. Ooops we’re aground!!!
According to the Coast Guard, it was a “soft grounding,” and she floated away on the rising tide.
Here’s Rainbow Harbor (Marina). American Pride lives at pier 3b. That looks pretty tight. I wonder who is responsible for monitoring shoaling … or the depth sounder, for that matter.
The Coast Guard is investigating the cause.
