GALLERY: U.S. Coast Guard responds to freighter accident on St. Marys River

At approximately 1 a.m. Thursday, the American Mariner, a 714-foot bulk cargo ship, struck the Mud Lake Junction Buoy in Munuscong Lake with their bow, according to U.S. Coast Guard Sector Northern Great Lakes in Sault Ste. Marie, MI.

USCG Sector Northern Great Lakes responded with boats from Station Sault Ste. Marie, a helicopter from Air Station Traverse City and the Coast Guard Cutter Katmai Bay, home-ported in Sault Ste. Marie. The first task, Snyder says, is to find out exactly what happened to cause the freighter to hit the navigational aid.

Another part of the investigation is learning the extent of damage to the navigational aid and what repairs it may need.
