The boat was wrecked in 2017 during a foggy night off the coast of Estero Bluffs State Park. While caught in a crab pot line, the captain cut the engine to try to free the vessel, but the dense fog obscured his view of the shoreline. In the process of freeing the boat, it drifted too close to shore and ran aground. The captain attempted to pull away using the anchor, but the vessel was stuck fast in the sand and ultimately abandoned.
Because the cost of removal is too high, the State Park Service has left the boat where it rests, slowly becoming part of the rugged coastal landscape.
