A lot of people are intrigued. Locals say another boat ran aground in Atlantic Beach years ago. This one is 51 feet @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews pic.twitter.com/VKCQwDV2DY

A lot of wind and wave action out here right now. The weather was a challenge yesterday, that’s why the Coast Guard said they couldn’t tow it before it was pushed onto shore @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews pic.twitter.com/C4Qple8ZLv
