It was the first time the approximately 85-foot boat, worth around $940,000, was launched after being delivered to its owner from Istanbul.<\/p>\n

The owner, captain and two crew members jumped overboard and safely swam to shore without injury, and the Coast Guard and port teams responded to set up a security perimeter around the flailing watercraft.<\/p>\n
