Winter Weather Claims a Victim as Town Boat Sinks
No environmental impact to Brown's River, say town officials.
A 24-foot Islip Town boat succumbed to the winter weather this past weekend due to a combination of frozen scupper valves, rain and icy weather that led to its eventual sinking in a berth in the Brown's River canal, according to town officials. The boat had been in use last Friday for bubble line work along the town dock pilings. It was retrieved Monday and is now being repaired. Town officials say there was no issue with gas or oil release into the waterway.
