NEWPORT NEWS (http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?story=121557&ran=182463) - The city Fire Department's new boat sank Wednesday morning - before the department could even take ownership of the $385,000, state-of-the-art vessel.
The boat, moored at a marina by the James River Bridge, was discovered with its back end on the river bottom and the front end sticking up out of the water. Investigators were trying to determine the cause.
The fire department had yet to take ownership of the 33-foot boat. It was waiting for the manufacturer, MetalCraft Marine of Canada, to finish installing electronic equipment, department spokeswoman Dana Perry said.
So much for being "state-of-the-art"...
