F/V SUSAN ROSE PULLED OFF BEACH AND IMMEDIATELY SINKS WITH CREW ON BOARD! | JERSEY BOATS
F/V Susan Rose ran aground Point Pleasant Beach early morning Friday, 11/17/2023, just a few hundred feet from Manasquan Inlet. The cause of why the 77ft commercial fishing vessel ran aground in the first place is still unknown as of the date of posting this video. The three members on board were uninjured and were able to jump off the boat and onto the beach. 6500 gallons of diesel fuel were pumped off of the boat. Northstar Marine was the company handling the salvage job. On the next day, Saturday 11/18/2023, a tug boat, the Shannon Dann, was brought in to tow the Susan Rose off of the beach. A smaller tow boat was also on scene which would prove to be extremely important later on that night. The salvage crew worked to repair any damage and pump water off the boat while the Tug applied constant pressure on the bow of the boat. High tide rolled in and the waves along with constant pressure from the tug helped inch the Susan Rose closer to sea. The crew worked throughout the day but progress slowed after high tide, with the next high tide cycle coming in around 11:30pm Saturday night. With the tide back in and large waves hitting the vessel, it started to come free from the beach around 1:30am early Sunday morning. As the vessel was leaving the beach, it immediately began to list and take on water with multiple salvage crew members on board. With the Susan Rose quickly sinking, the tow boat sprung into action and safely rescued all of the workers. While this was happening, one of the outriggers on the vessel fell over and broke in half! The Susan Rose continued to sink into the Atlantic Ocean. It currently lies in around 50ft of water just a few hundred feet from the beach. The cause of why it sank is still unknown. The salvage company stated that the crew on board had checked to see if any flooding occurred throughout the process and had pumps on standby, but no water was present. They believe there was some catastrophic failure as the boat was freed from the beach. The next plan for the Susan Rose is unknown at this point and is up to the owners of the boat and the insurance company.

What a Disaster of a Job Pretty useless
Why not wait until the next high tide at 1pm in daylight, and use that time to properly pump out the bilge water? Or am i making too much sense?
I wonder if there was a breach in the hull or loss of engine power? Any plans currently as to recovery? Great video. Never saw your channel before.
Should have left the boat on the beach. From how quick the boat sank there must have been basketball size holes in the hull. Didn't even get 50 yds
A textbook clusterfuck. Why not make the bloody thing seaworthy, at least watertight and pumped out, before you you tow it off the beach ??????? ( no doubt someone said:- 'time is money' and the rest – is history. I'm a landlubber, and Id' have done better than those clueless numpties.
What a CF. Pink slips will be in the mail.
Great recovery
Based on the large amount of diesel fuel that was making all the surfers sick in Manasquan that day, I’m guessing there was a leak in the boat somewhere.
A stunngly boring story of a wee goat stuck on the beach with a flat calm. Merci.
Captains will usually put there auto pilot on a heading just south of the inlet just in case they fall asleep, you'll run onto the beach instead of the rocks, happened in AC 2 years ago.
Sad to see a gallant lady succumb to the sea. The pumps needed to be running full out with the holds being made watertight. It did not look like the hull was punctured.
Captain Kangaroo could have done a better job than these chumps!
So, that’s how it’s done, said no one ever
It is too bad there is not a way to do this recoveries more slowly, and observe problems as they present themselves. Couldn't there have been a cell phone call from the beach to the tug, as the vessel was listing excessively while much closer to the beach?
Money making progress, visboats are out ,, scrap
Glad the salvage crew are save but it’s Very disappointing that the tug was apparently not in communication and as soon as the listing was to bad they should have stopped pulling! So what now? Salvage crew promised to remove so they will bring in a $M floating crane and lift it off bottom, in winter?
There must be good insurance here!
Since it’s a total loss now they should have just broken it up on the beach , really disappointing outcome!!!!!!!
Cheers Warren
Did you really think that little Lull would do anything ?
What a bunch of amatures !
….lol…they could of slowly rolled and pulled that ship in the direction they wanted ,still days quicker.. if they had a heap of them long flash inflatable rollers made for such things…dig them under ,pump them up ,pull….maybe…… , the ship the world's best 500 tonne ( with sand )sand anchor ,getting dragged ,sideways through the sand ,crunch ,twist..you got to support that unwieldy mass somehow before you pull on some obscure angle,or its own weight destroy itself
How to destroy a fishing vessel, step 1….
Not a salvage expert, but looks to me about 5:05 in this video is when I would tell the tug to hold station until daylight and next high tide. But im surprised by the lack of lights and support vessels, especially at night.
