Kamala harris slammed for deploying a 'fake accent' in detroit..., doctor, 40, killed after mast snaps on 150-year-old schooner off coast of maine in ‘unforeseen’ tragedy.
A doctor aboard a 150-year-old schooner was killed Monday morning when the vessel’s mainmast shattered under sail and collapsed into the deck off the coast of Maine.
The Grace Bailey, a 118 foot “windjammer” that operates tours in the waters off Maine, was returning from a four-day voyage with 33 people onboard when the mast broke, its owner said in a statement.
A towing service rushed to the scene about a mile out from the Rockland harbor, and arrived to find people performing CPR on one victim.
Emily Mecklenburg, 40, a doctor from Rockland, was later declared dead , while three others were rushed to the hospital with head, spine, and crush injuries.
An emergency responder said they saw somebody trapped beneath the fallen mast.
“It is an unforeseen circumstance,” said Charlie Weidman, owner of Charlie’s Marine Service and the first person to reach the schooner after the accident.
“No one trains to have a giant mast break on a schooner. Everyone acted with professionalism. Everyone was doing the best they could with the gifts that they had.”
Weidman towed the boat into Rockland Harbor, where one of the victims was airlifted out.
The Coast Guard is investigating what caused the break. Officials noted conditions were calm and not windy when the accident happened.
“We want to make sure the investigation is being done thoroughly and that the necessary boxes are being checked,” Coast Guard Ensign Matthew Bartnick said Tuesday.
Though the Grace Bailey was built in 1882, like numerous other tall ships that operate off the coast of New England it had been refurbished many times over the years.
Almost all the planks of wood have been replaced during the boat’s lifetime, and the mast which snapped was not the original, a spokesperson for the boat, Nicole Jacques, said.
The vessel’s owners also said they had no idea why the mast broke.
“My crew and I are devastated by this morning’s accident, especially since the safety of our guests is always our biggest priority,” said the vessel’s captain, Sam Sikkema.
“Most importantly, we are beyond heartbroken that we lost a dear friend.”
Dr. Mecklenburg worked for the MaineHealth system, primarily out of the Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockland.

1 dead, 3 injured after schooner's mast collapses onto boat deck
The medical conditions of the three injured people are currently unknown.
One person is dead and three people have been injured when a mast broke on a schooner in Rockland Harbor, Maine, and fell onto the deck of the vessel.
Thirty-three people were aboard the Grace Bailey, a 118-foot schooner that was approximately one mile east of Rockland Harbor in Maine, when the New England Command Center received a call for help around 10 a.m. Monday morning “requesting assistance after their mast reportedly broke and fell onto the deck causing head and back injuries to four people,” according to a statement from the United States Coast Guard.

Coast Guard watchstanders immediately dispatched a Coast Guard Station Rockland 47-foot motor lifeboat (MLB) to the scene of the accident.
“The MLB crew arrived on scene and transferred a woman from the Grace Bailey to Rockland Harbor where she was transferred to awaiting EMS and pronounced deceased,” the U.S. Coast Guard said. “The MLB crew returned to the Grace Bailey with two EMS personnel to retrieve the three remaining injured people. The three people were transferred to EMS at Rockland Harbor and taken to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport.”

“In this time of sorrow, we offer our deepest condolences to the grieving family, and our most heartfelt wishes for a swift recovery to those harmed,” said said Capt. Amy Florentino, the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England commander. “Our investigation aims to identify causative factors that led to this tragic incident.”
Commercial salvage personnel responded following the accident and towed the Grace Bailey to Rockport Harbor where officials will continue their investigation into the schooner’s demasting.

The mast struck several passengers and caused the death of 40-year-old Emily Mecklenburg of Rockland.
The commander of the Coast Guard's First District ordered the investigation to determine the factors that led to the accident.

One person is dead and three others are hurt after a schooner accident in Rockland Harbor.
The United States Coast Guard learned about a large sailboat in distress just outside the Breakwater at about 10:30 a.m. Monday.
The mainmast on the 80-foot Grace Bailey had snapped and the Coast Guard had reports of multiple people hurt. Rockland rescue personnel were transported out to the boat with the Coast Guard to help care for the injured and coordinate medical care once they could get back to the mainland.
Officials say there were 28 people on board the schooner at the time. The owners of the boat say they were returning from a four-day cruise when there was an "unexpected and catastrophic failure" of the mainmast, causing it to split and come down onto the deck.
Three people were transported from the Coast Guard pier: Two were brought to Penbay Medical Center in Rockport and one to an awaiting LifeFlight helicopter. One other person died from their injuries. The three people who were taken to the hospital were expected to recover.
Officials did not immediately release the names of the people involved.
"My crew and I are devastated by this morning's accident, especially since the safety of our guests is always our biggest priority. Most importantly, we are beyond heartbroken that we lost a dear friend. Our entire crew extends our love and support to the family members and to everyone affected by this tragedy," said Captain Sam Sikkema.
The Grace Bailey was built in 1882 and is owned in part by actor Mark Evan Jackson, who is known for his roles on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place, Parks & Recreation, The Baby-Sitters Club and more.
The Grace Bailey offers 3 to 6 night vacation trips along the Maine coast and is very well known in the area.
"It's sad. Whenever there's a loss of life, it's sad, very sad. And especially in a situation like this. It's a it's a sad day for the Windjammer crew. It's a sad day for the city of Rockland," said Ken Dutelle of Rockland.
1 killed, 3 injured when historic Maine schooner’s mast snaps
The coast guard is expected to investigate why the grace bailey’s mast snapped.
Associated Press
ROCKLAND, Maine — The main mast of a historic excursion vessel splintered and fell onto the vessel’s deck on Monday, killing one person and injuring three others aboard the schooner Grace Bailey, officials said Monday.
A nearby Coast Guard vessel began evacuating the injured passengers within minutes of the mast’s catastrophic failure and collapse on the deck, which occurred while the vessel was returning from a four-day cruise, the vessel’s owner said in a statement.
One person died from injuries and three people were transported to hospitals on Monday, the Rockland Fire Department said. A helicopter transported one of the three injured, while the other two were transported to a local hospital, fire officials said.
Afterward, the vessel was towed into Rockland Harbor. Images posted online showed the vessel with the top of its main mast splintered.
The Grace Bailey is part of the state’s so-called windjammer fleet, a collection of sailing vessels that take people on excursions up and down the coast.
“My crew and I are devastated by this morning’s accident, especially since the safety of our guests is always our biggest priority. Most importantly, we are beyond heartbroken that we lost a dear friend,” the vessel’s captain, Sam Sikkema, said in a statement.
The boat’s operators said they had no idea why the mast failed. The Coast Guard will conduct a full investigation into the incident, they said. No names of the victims were released.
The Grace Bailey had posted images on social media earlier in the trip, including an image the day before of passengers carving pumpkins on the vessel.
The Grace Bailey’s overall length is 118 feet long (36 meters) and it can carry 29 passengers, according to its official website. It was built in Long Island, New York, in 1882.

In a tragic incident off Rockland, Maine, on Monday, one person lost their life and three others sustained injuries after being struck by the mast of a historic schooner. The U.S. Coast Guard responded to the incident involving the schooner Grace Bailey , which was reportedly demasted, causing injuries to four of the 33 people on board.
The crew of the 118-foot schooner contacted the Coast Guard around 10 a.m., seeking assistance after their mast broke and fell onto the deck. The incident resulted in head and back injuries for the four individuals involved.
The Coast Guard dispatched a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat (MLB) crew from Coast Guard Station Rockland to provide aid. Upon arrival, the MLB crew transferred one woman from the Grace Bailey to awaiting EMS personnel at Rockland Harbor, where she was pronounced dead.
The MLB crew returned to the Grace Bailey with EMS personnel to retrieve the remaining injured individuals. They were transferred to EMS at Rockland Harbor and taken to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport.

Commercial salvage personnel from Charlie’s Marine Services were called on to tow the Grace Bailey to Rockport Harbor.
The Grace Bailey , a two-masted schooner built in 1882, offers multi-night cruises for up to 29 passengers from its homeport in Rockport, Maine. The schooner, previously known as “MATTIE”, was once part of Maine’s original “Windjammer” fleet.
The Coast Guard has initiated an investigation into the cause of the mast collapse.

UPDATE: Mast breaks on schooner ‘Grace Bailey’ while under sail, one dead
The mast on the Grace Bailey schooner broke while just beyond Rockland Harbor after 10 a.m., today, Oct. 9, resulting in one death of a female and several injured.
The woman who was killed has been identified as Emily Mecklenburg, a physician at Pen Bay Medical Center, in Rockport. The cause of her death has yet to be determined, according to Maine’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner.
Three patients were transported from the U.S. Coast Guard pier, with two taken to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport, and one to an awaiting LifeFlight helicopter.
“Unfortunately one additional patient had succumbed to their injuries and the City of Rockland extends our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the victim,” said Rockland Fire Chief Chris Whytock, in a news release.
A mast on the sailboat had snapped and Knox Regional Communications Center, which took the distress call from the Coast Guard, had reports of multiple people injured, said Whytock.
Rockland Fire and EMS were transported out with the USCG and rendered care to the injured and coordinated medical care once on the mainland.
The Coast Guard said later in the day that four of the 33 people aboard the schooner were injured, approximately one mile east of Rockland Harbor.
Crew aboard the Grace Bailey contacted the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England command center around 10 a.m. requesting assistance after their mast reportedly broke and fell onto the deck causing head and back injuries to four people.
Coast Guard watchstanders dispatched a Coast Guard Station Rockland 47-foot Motor Lifeboat (MLB) crew to assist.
The MLB crew arrived on scene and transferred a woman from the Grace Bailey to Rockland Harbor where she was transferred to awaiting EMS and pronounced deceased.
The MLB crew returned to the Grace Bailey with two EMS personnel to retrieve the three remaining injured people. The three people were transferred to EMS at Rockland Harbor and taken to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport.
“In this time of sorrow, we offer our deepest condolences to the grieving family, and our most heartfelt wishes for a swift recovery to those harmed,” said said Capt. Amy Florentino, the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England commander, in the release. “Our investigation aims to identify causative factors that led to this tragic incident.”
Charlie’s Marine Services commercial salvage personnel responded and towed the Grace Bailey to Rockport Harbor.
The Coast Guard is investigating the cause of the incident.
The Grace Bailey , once known on Penobscot Bay at The Mattie , was built in Patchogue, New York, 1882 by Oliver Perry Smith at his boatyard on the Patchogue River, in Patchogue, New York.
The schooner is 118 feet in length, and is a member of windjammer fleet, with a homeport of Rockland.

Mast of historic boat snaps, killing 1 and injuring 3 off the coast of Rockland, Maine
O ne person is dead and three injured after the mast of a historic vessel snapped in half and fell onto the deck off Rockland, Maine, officials said.
The Grace Bailey, a schooner that takes passengers on excursions up and down the Maine coast, was returning from a four-day cruise Monday when the "unexpected and catastrophic" mast failure happened, the ship's operators said. One person was killed after the main mast fell onto the deck, the Rockland Fire Department said. Three others were taken to local hospitals and were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, the Maine Windjammer Association said in a statement.
The U.S. Coast Guard evacuated injured passengers within minutes, the vessel's operators said, and authorities were investigating the cause of the accident.

"As of now, we do not have a cause," said U.S. Coast Guard First District spokesperson Diolanda Caballero.
The mast splintered and snapped, the Coast Guard said. The ship had been carrying 33 people.
The Grace Bailey can hold a maximum of 29 passengers, according to her webpage. The vessel was not over capacity at the time, because it can hold 29 passengers plus crew, the windjammer association said in an emailed statement.
The names of the victims were not immediately released.
What is the Grace Bailey schooner?
The Grace Bailey is part of the state’s so-called windjammer fleet, a collection of nine historic vessels that take people on coastal excursions. The vessels are individually owned and operated, according to the group's website, and members work together to preserve the history the boats represent.
The ship's captains, Sam Sikkema and Suzannah Smith, said they did not know what caused the mast to fail, according to the Maine Windjammer Association.
“My crew and I are devastated by this morning’s accident, especially since the safety of our guests is always our biggest priority," Sikkema said. "Most importantly, we are beyond heartbroken that we lost a dear friend. Our entire crew extends our love and support to the family members and to everyone affected by this tragedy.”
The Grace Bailey's overall length is 118 feet, according to its official website. It was built in Long Island, New York, in 1882.
The vessel takes several trips during the summer months every year, according to its online schedule. Operators advertise online that the excursions are "fun and comfortable" trips for couples, families and charter groups.
The accident happened on the last day of Grace Bailey's final trip of the season, the Maine Windjammer Association said. The association said it didn't have any information on what was next for the vessel, including whether it would continue to sail.
