A fully loaded cargo ship is still stuck in the Chesapeake Bay.

“On Sunday March 13, at approximately 9 p.m., we received a call from the vessel, the Ever Forward, stating that they had run aground,” Coast Guard Public Affairs Specialist Petty Officer 3rd Class Breanna Centeno, told The Epoch Times. “We do not know the reasoning as to how it happened, however once the vessel is refloated, we are going to do an investigation to figure out possible causes.”
