A man suffered second degree fire injuries after his seven meter cuddy cruiser exploded near Benett Road in Poquoson, Virginia on the morning of Wednesday third July 2019. The man was reportedly working on his boat and after finishing it tried to ignite it, when this exploded and throwed him into the water. Still conscious the man still managed to swim to the boat and untied it, in order to avoid damage to nearby boats. A nearby person who saw the incident called 911 as Marine Fire Fighter came to fight the blaze from the water.
The boat in this fire is a Penn Yan 248 Heritage as produced in the eighties. Penn Yan was founded in 1921 by German-native Charles A. Herrman, taking name from the location of its premises. Penny Wan started building wooden canoes and boats, switching to fiberglass in the early sixties. Penn Yan is sold in 1979 and will cease operating in 2002.
