Drinking in Boston: Pairing Beer
At 7:30 this morning, two MBTA commuter ferries, "Massachusetts" and "Laura," collided in the Reserved Channel. Neither boat took on water and no one was hurt.
"Massachusetts," headed from Hingham to Boston, carried 171 passengers. Only four crew members were on "Laura," which was making the return trip from Boston to Hingham. The reverse commute to Hingham in the morning is a lonely one.
According to Coast Guard Petty Officer Zach Zubricki, the crash is currently being attributed to "terrible" foggy conditions.
Commuter ferries are privately owned and operated under contract by the MBTA. Last year, the service ridership was up to 4,500 passengers per day.
