On Saturday, the ferocious storm battering the state’s coast drove the 50-foot fishing vessel onto the rocks at Trundy Point just after midnight. Grinding against an unmerciful ledge, the Terra Lynn II’s fiberglass belly shattered, scattering its engine, 500 gallons of diesel fuel and 5,000 pounds of fish all over the coast.
Fortunately, a rescue team from the Cape Elizabeth Fire Department was able to pluck all four crewmen off the disintegrating boat and bring them to shore, uninjured.
