A 168-foot tanker washed ashore on Staten Island in New York Monday night during Hurricane Sandy.
A WABC report featured striking footage of the John B. Caddell aground near Front Street. It described the ship as a “water tanker.”
The ship is described as being built in 1941 and having a deadweight capacity of 1,077 tons on the marinetraffic.com Website.
WABC said the ship was moored about a mile from the beach when Sandy’s powerful force propelled it toward land. It added no one was on the tanker or injured.
