CLEARWATER – A pirate ship ran aground in shallow waters in Clearwater New Year’s Eve.

The ship “Captain Nemo”  had left the Clearwater marina, when it became stuck in shallow waters just before the causeway.

A rescue boat also was stuck. Passengers were brought to shore in groups via boats from Clearwater Fire Rescue, Police, and the US Coast Guard.

No injuries were reported. Clearwater Fire Rescue reported at least 88 people were taken to shore. Foggy weather may have also played a factor in the incident.
