Tanker damages Ambrose Light, raising questions about its future

摘要

High winds off Sandy Hook, N.J., may have been one factor causing a 799-foot tanker to sideswipe Ambrose Light, crippling the beacon and perhaps ending its long history of guiding ships to New York Harbor.rnThe Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating why the ship's crew didn't report the allision for almost seven hours.
