(May 19, 2008)—As The new owners of the Brazos Belle work to move the waterlogged river boat upriver to make repairs, another Brazos River Excursion boat sank Monday.
The Spirt of the Rivers sternwheeler docked at the Lake Brazos Steakhouse sank Monday morning after owner Shane Morgan started to pump out water rains.
Morgan said he turned on the pump and then left for five to ten minutes.
When he returned, he discovered the pump hose had some how reversed and was pulling water into the 70-passenger charter boat.
He said he barely had time to get the pump and himself out before the boat went under.
The boat had been used over the weekend for a dinner cruise, Morgan said and was scheduled for another cruise Monday night.
He planned to contact his insurance company about the accidental
sinking.
