Five People Saved After Boat Collides in Lake Superior Break Wall

Five people where saved after a ten meter Carver aft cabin flybridge cruiser titled The Lost Anchor collided into the Minnesota side break wall in Lake Superior and sank on 22:50 hours of Tuesday ninth August 2022.  The Duluth Fire Department and St. Louis County Rescue responded to the call to save the five persons and one dog.  With the collision the Carver cruiser opened a hull breach and started sinking and was ultimately beached on the rocks inside the break wall. The Carver cruiser was salvaged with a crane the following day.
The Carver cruiser in this break wall collision is a 36 Aft Cabin as produced from 1990 to 92.  The Carver 36 Aft Cabin came out as replacement to the eight year produced 3607 Aft Cabin, evolving with little design improvements into the 370 Aft Cabin in 1993, and then replaced by the 355 Motor Yacht with sloop stern in the fall of 1995.  Medium sized aft cabin cruisers was a successful segment for Carver in the eighties and nineties.
