GROSSE ILE, Mich. — A coal-carrying freighter was stubbornly stuck Friday after running aground in the Detroit River, and salvagers could be forced to unload some of its cargo to help tugboats pull the vessel free.
Even with five tugs, crews struggled to dislodge the 579-foot McKee Sons from where the barge sat in the Trenton Channel, south of Detroit, U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Justin Westmiller said.
There were no signs that the barge’s cargo had caused any pollution in the channel.
