Captain, deckhand go down with the ship due to pilot’s inexperience

June 14, 2019

The sinking of a towboat in the Lower Mississippi River near New Orleans last March that killed two mariners is being blamed on the towboat company, in a new report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
