Boston Duck Boat Incident Timeline: from Tourist Hospitalization to Reopening
By David Miller
Local dispatch logs indicate emergency calls flooded central dispatch within two minutes of the sudden list. Paramedics established a staging zone adjacent to the ramp, evaluating all 36 passengers and crew aboard the vessel. Nine adults and two children were transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Medical Center, while uninjured passengers were taken to a secure terminal reception room for debriefing.
Fire department marine units secured the hull to check for internal hull breaches or failing bilge pump assemblies. Initial fears of active hull taking-on-water subsided once divers confirmed the bilges were dry and the primary drive shaft seals remained intact. Hospital representatives confirmed by evening that all 11 hospitalized victims had been stabilized, with ten discharges occurring within twenty-four hours.
