Questions rise after large boat washed up on shore of Horseneck Beach in Westport

A large boat has been spotted washed up on shore at Horseneck Beach in Westport, Massachusetts. After speaking with campers at the the Horseneck Beach campground, they reported that the boat has been washed up on shore since Saturday, October 21st.

We reached out to the Westport Harbormaster via phone and they declined to give us any details regarding the situation.

The boat is washed up adjacent to the campground facing west at Horseneck Beach. Traveling photographer Michael Welch was at the beach capturing photos of the washed up boat during sunset and was kind enough to send us a photo.

I captured video of the bizarre scene myself, Horseneck is a fantastic spot to catch a beautiful sunset by the way!

The question remains, why was this boat abandoned? Was there an emergency? If anyone has any information, feel free to reach out as it appears we will not be getting any information from Westport officials.
