Two historic schooners sink near Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal, and their owners are still determining what to do next, according to reports. The vessels, which had been operating as part of a tourism or hospitality concept, settle at the bottom of a canal in the New York area.
One outlet notes that the schooners previously featured Maine-themed experiences, while another adds that at least one of the ships had also hosted a Cousteau-themed rest period. The articles describe the incident as occurring about two months ago and emphasize that decisions about salvage, removal, or preservation have not been finalized. In addition, the reports indicate that the ownership group has not yet publicly outlined a definitive plan.
Overall, the outlets agree on the core facts: two historic schooners sink near the Gowanus Canal and remain submerged. They differ mainly in the specific background details they provide about the schooners’ prior uses and themes, rather than in the account of what happens after the sinking.
