BOSTON — The Coast Guard lifted the safety zone restricting traffic in the North Channel Thursday afternoon for all vessels.
An obstruction buoy is in place to mark the location of the 55-foot tug boat Emily Anne that sank east of Deer Island Tuesday morning.
Mariners should proceed with caution when transiting the area as there are workboats in the area conducting salvage operations.
Mariners should contact the Coast Guard Sector Boston Command Center at 617-223-5757 with any questions. Media should contact the First Coast Guard District public affairs office at 617-223-8515 with any questions.
