BOSTON — A tour boat headed on a whale watch with 174 people on board was evacuated Saturday after it ran aground on a rocky ledge in Boston Harbor and began taking on water.
No one was seriously hurt in the accident, which was reported about 10 a.m. off Deer Island. The Coast Guard said two people suffered back and knee injuries.
Workers on board the Massachusetts tried to pump out the vessel, while divers attempted to patch the gash in the hull, said Winthrop Deputy Harbormaster Chuck Evans, who was at the scene.
