The Coast Guard has launched a formal investigation into the collapse of a mast aboard a historic schooner that killed one person and injured three others off Maine's seacoast

The Coast Guard said Monday, Oct. 16, that it has launched a formal investigation into a fatal accident aboard the historic schooner off the coast of Maine in which a mast fell and killed one person and injured three others.
Coast Guard officials said the formal inquiry is intended to determine what led to the collapse and identify anything that can help improve maritime safety. The owners of the vessel, the Grace Bailey Navigation Company of Rockland, have no comment on the investigation, said Nicole Jacques, a spokesperson for the company. The vessel carries tourists off the Maine coast and was returning from a four-day trip when the mast snapped late in the morning of Oct. 9.
The schooner was involved in three previous accidents in recent years when it was under previous ownership, Coast Guard records have shown. The Coast Guard said Monday that it sent a 47-foot motor lifeboat crew to assist after the mast collapse and transferred Mecklenburg to emergency medical workers, after which she was pronounced dead.
