No injuries were reported and all passengers and crew were safely removed by the Washington state ferry Sealth and Vessel Assist after the ship ran aground around noon in Wasp Passage, the U.S. Coast Guard reported.

The ship was floated later Monday when the tide came in, and divers inspected her at the site, said Catherine Collins, executive director of Sound Experience, the nonprofit organization that sails the 133-foot ship as a training vessel. There was no apparent damage, Collins said.

“She’s a tough old girl,” Collins said of the two-masted schooner built in 1913 for exploring the Arctic.

A second dive was planned for Monday night in Friday Harbor, Collins said. Depending on what was found, the Coast Guard was expected to make a decision about whether the ship needed be hauled out of the water for a more detailed inspection, Collins said.

If the Adventuress did need to be taken out of the water, she would be sent to her home port of Port Townsend.

In either case, Collins said, the Adventuress should be able to appear as planned Wednesday night in Victoria, B.C., for that city’s Tall Ships festival and in Tacoma for the Tall Ships festival the first week of July.

The incident was not expected to change plans for the ship’s participation in Youth on Board. The Adventuress is one of three ships scheduled to participate in the program, which introduces young people to sailing. The 48 participants, all 14 to 17 years old, were scheduled to leave Tacoma on Sunday for Vancouver Island.

The cause of the grounding was not known Monday. The ship was navigating a tricky part of Puget Sound, and the Adventuress draws more than many ships, Collins noted.

The Adventuress had previously run aground in the 1960s and came out of the experience without a scratch, Collins added. She was confident that Monday’s incident would end just as well.

“I’m sure she’s going to be OK,” she said.
