The Coast Guard and other agencies assisted in removing the passengers from the ship. But their problems did not end there. Most of them have put their cars on the ferry and for now they are staying there and people can’t get to their homes. The ship is believed to have run aground after losing power and becoming unmanageable. Options are being sought for it to be towed to a location where people can unload their cars.
