The vessel was headed downstream on the Tennessee River in Loudon, TN at or about the TRM 592 when the vessel was grounded on a rock shoal below the adjacent railroad bridge.  The vessel started taking on water and was unable to get off of the rocks.  One of the drives was pulled from the hull of the boat creating an opening in the hull.  The opening was plugged and the bilge pump was able to remove most of the water from the bilge area of the vessel.  The vessel was secured and then removed by Seatow the following morning.  There were no injuries and all the subjects were safely removed from the vessel.
