A tug was positioned at one end of the ferry with an apparent Coast Guard boat nearby.Passengers were initially kept onboard. One passenger suffered a medical emergency unrelated to the grounding and necessitated an evacuation, the agency said.
"When we impacted it felt like an earthquake," said Kyle Bulger, a passenger on-board. "We shuffled around, it moved everyone around and everyone was confused." Tugboats were brought in to move the ship, however, they are trying to avoid any further damage to the hull of the ship by dragging it while the tide is low.
