Coal ship aground in Chesapeake
Efforts are expected to continue today to try and free a Liberian-flag dry bulk vessel that ran aground Wednesday in the Chesapeake Bay while leaving the port of Baltimore with a load of coal bound for Romania.
Four tugboats Thursday were unsuccessful in attempts to free the 'Montrose' from the sandy bottom on which it has run aground near Sharps Island.
There are no reports of injuries or pollution, and the U.S. Coast Guard is investigating the cause of the grounding.
