Pilot Boat ‘St. David’ On The Dock In Hamilton
The pilot boat St. David – that was “involved in a crash with a reef” over two months ago — is sitting in the dock on Front Street in Hamilton.
A Government spokesperson previously said, “The Ministry of Transport can confirm that the pilot boat, St. David, was involved in a crash with a reef off of the Northeast Breaker Beacon on Thursday, May 6th, 2021 at 6:48am.
“The St. David was on a training exercise en-route to the North Rock Beacon and had four crew on board. The pilot boat, purchased in 2011 for $2,795,000.00 is insured for 2.8 million dollars.”
