The vessel was anchored in the lee of Napatree Island overnight. Sometime in the early morning hours, the vessel began dragging the anchor while the operator was asleep. The operator woke up to find the vessel hard against the outer breakwall to Stonington Harbor. The USCG came and got the owner off of the vessel. The vessel then broke apart and sank during the storm. The engine and fuel compartments were later salvaged by a commercial operation due to the fact they were environmental hazards.
