70 Northern Ave, Boston, MA 02210, USA | 2017-Feb-14
Initial Notification: In 1978 the historic ferry Peter Stuyvesant sank at pier 4 in Boston. Portions of the wreck were removed, but the keel and engine room were left in place. In January 2017, a firm was hired to remove the remaining wreckage and small amounts of oil began to leak into a previously boomed area.. The US Coast Guard was called and the NOAA SSC was consulted. Removal continues with additional protection and supervision and under an approved removal plan that now included oil removal.
