Regular cruise ship caller Norwegian Crown ran aground between Dockyard and Spanish Point this morning, but was pulled free by three tugboats this evening.
The ship is expected in Dockyard tonight, skipping Hamilton as a port of call.
Joe Simas, shipping manager for Meyer Shipping — the local agent for Norwegian Cruise Lines — said divers examined the ship and didn’t find any damage. Once the vessel reaches Dockyard, divers will do another search for signs of damage.
