40-foot vessel runs aground off Dennis with three onboard

The Coast Guard responded to a 40-foot vessel that ran aground on a jetty in Sesuit Harbor in Cape Cod Bay near Dennis, Sunday Feb. 28, 2010.

Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England was notified via a 911 call that the vessel had run aground with three people aboard.

Rescue crews from Station Cape Cod Canal and Station Provincetown launched at 3:50 p.m., and are on scene with the vessel and have found that the vessel is hard aground.

The vessel was taking on water until the tide went out. There are no reported injuries at this time.

The Dennis Police Department and Harbormaster were also on scene.
