Boat stranded ashore at Bay Beach has finally been removed

The boat stranded ashore at Bay Beach since late July has finally been removed.

Councillor Tom Lewis said on Facebook that he had received many inquires about the boat.

He wrote on August 2 that he had been informed by Town of Fort Erie staff that the Coast Guard had issued an intent to tow, which is alleged to have expired on August 1.

“Currently, I have no further updates or information on the next steps, but I wanted to provide this update as there have been many comments about the lack of action,” Lewis wrote.

Workers were on the beach early Tuesday afternoon. Photos posted to Facebook showed the boat being lifted by an excavator and towed away.
