Menemsha Harbor Back in Business after Fire
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010A fast-moving fire that broke out at 2:42 pm Monday destroyed the Coast Guard boathouse in Menemsha, and its pier, a truck, several private boats and the wooden causeway that provided vehicle access to the fill dock on the west side of the harbor, stranding eight vehicles.
After the horrible fire on Monday, the Harbor is now up and running .
Quoted in The Martha’s Vineyard Times Online
“Dennis Jason, Chilmark harbormaster, said the harbor is back in business.
Menemsha Station chief Jason Olsen said the 25-foot patrol boat is now on station. The next goal, he said, is to find a berth for the 47-foot motor lifeboat.
The Coast Guard once again asked that anyone who took photos of the area just before the fire, or who saw the first indication of smoke or flames, to contact the Coast Guard at 508-645-2661.”
