Boat Sinks

Dec 19, 2024

A boat sank in Halifax Harbour’s Bedford Basin last week amid high winds and heavy rain. The incident occurred in the Mill Cove area, where the pleasure craft appeared to have been moored before possibly falling victim to the storm. Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency’s fire boat responded to the sinking. There was no immediate word on injuries or environmental impacts, but the boat appeared to be unoccupied at the time.
