Ferry Governor Disabled

The MV Governor lost power with one of her two engines while coming into Wood Hole on the 4 p.m. trip from Vineyard Haven Wednesday. The trip was delayed for more than an hour.

General manager Wayne Lamson, who was on the vessel at the time, said in a statement: “The captain dropped the anchor in order to maintain the vessel’s position in front of the SSA’s dock. The engine was restarted but the U.S. Coast Guard would not allow us to proceed . . . because we no longer had an anchor that could be used in the event we continued to have trouble with the forward engine. A tug was called in and escorted the MV Governor into slip two under its own power.”
