The yacht's original name, which appears on its official documentation, is "Marengo," but the owner changed to "Blue Seas," according to Dupre.
Two days after, on Saturday morning, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's Emergency Response Unit as well as its police force known as EnCon were at the site with their response boat, DEEP spokesperson Will Healey told Patch. The agency helped ACV Enviro, an environmental services provider out of Bridgeport, with "placement of a containment boom around the sunken vessel."
Who owns the yacht?
As Dupre explained last week, the Coast Guard initially was not going to run the probe into what happened aboard the yacht as, she said, the boat was in state waters and not commercial so not in its domain. here
She said that's the issue for both DEEP and the Coast Guard on who is in charge of the investigation. [links]
But, it turns out that the Coast Guard is still trying to confirm who was piloting the yacht, and that information will decide who's in charge. [links]
People who live in the area told Local 10 News they heard a loud boom before seeing the smoke and flames. Some were concerned the fire would spread to nearby homes.
Authorities said two people were hurt and taken to the hospital, one with burn injuries on his legs.
The boats were tied together while undergoing mechanical repairs when they somehow caught on fire, officials said.
Sky 10 was above the scene at 399 Lewis Lane shortly after 2:30 p.m. as firefighters on nearby boats worked to extinguish the flames. here

“We look for burn patterns; we look for charring on the vessel,” explained Fire Marshal Corey Adamski with Naples Fire-Rescue. “We take into account witness statements, what they saw, what they smelled, what they heard.”
“Well, my first thought was is there anybody on that boat?” Ferguson said. here
“They were relieved,” Ferguson said. “I think they were renting, and they were …. obviously, their whole day was cut short, but they just felt relieved to be safe.”
A caption on the video read: ‘Karma hits boaters who harassed and spun circles around our boat after they saw our pride flags’.
It is unclear from the video what transpired before the boaters passed the ship and gave them the middle finger.
‘Then the boat quickly made a sharp turn back towards us and went around us,’ Robbie told Buzzfeed. ‘I then … personally heard someone shout what I thought to be the word ‘gays’ so I asked my brother to pull out his phone and blatantly start recording in hopes that it would avoid conflict if they noticed.’ here
