Canada’s Transportation Safety Board says it is looking into what happened when a sightseeing vessel ran aground in the waters off Metro Vancouver last weekend.
The agency says investigators have been deployed to Vancouver Harbour to investigate the Aug. 3 accident that injured one passenger.
The MV Harbour Princess ran aground near Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver with 41 passengers onboard.
Harbour Cruises, which calls the vessel its “flagship” sightseeing vessel, says the boat was not damaged and did not take on water.
It say the vessel returned to Coal Harbour in Vancouver under its own power but was escorted by search and rescue boats.
The company said after the grounding that the vessel would be taken out of service for up to 10 days for an inspection “out of an abundance of caution.”
