摘要: Three crew members escaped injury when the mv. Betsy Wepfer sank December 27 just upstream from Olmsted Locks and Dam. The Coast Guard was notified at 8:38 p.m. Central time of the tugboat sinking at Ohio River Mile 963, according to the Coast Guard's Marine Safety Unit in Paducah, Ky. It went down in about two minutes, according to the Coast Guard. The location is just upstream from the Olmsted dam, which is at River Mile 964.4, and just downstream from the former Lock & Dam 53 at Mile 962. The boat is owned by Wepfer Marine. A rescue boat from Olmsted retrieved the crew, who were unharmed, according to emergency services. Abby Korfhage, public affairs specialist with the Louisville Engineer District, said Olmsted Locks and Dam operators Scott Ohlemacher and Joe Zeiler quickly rescued the mariners before the boat could sink after the vessel sent out a distress call. Emergency re-sponders and the Coast Guard were then dispatched to Olmsted to further assess the situation. The Coast Guard closed the channel for roughly 12 hours until sidescan sonar indicated the boat was well outside the channel,, and Okie Moore Diving & Salvage was expected to begin salvage opera- tions quickly.
