Major Fire Destroys Twelve Boats at Cottage Park Yacht Club

A substantial fire consumed twelve boats at the Cottage Park Yacht Club in Winthrop, Massachusetts, early Friday morning. The blaze ignited and spread rapidly, complicated by the presence of gasoline on the water, according to reports.

Firefighting efforts were challenged by the speed at which the fire moved. Two of the vessels that caught fire broke loose from their moorings. One of these boats drifted to Snake Island, while the other became grounded at Point Shirley.

The extent of the damage and the specific cause of the fire were not immediately detailed in the available information.
