A festive outing turned perilous at Tobago’s Nylon Pool on Saturday, October 25, when a glass-bottom boat partially sank due to overcrowding. The vessel, named Rush Hour, had departed from Pigeon Point Jetty at 4 pm with 65 passengers for a reef tour. However, by 6:15 pm, while docked at the Nylon Pool jetty, the boat began to take on water after patrons from other reef boats boarded, causing the stern to submerge. Local pirogue operators swiftly intervened to evacuate the passengers, averting a potential disaster. Authorities from the Crown Point Police Station promptly responded to the incident, ensuring the safety of all involved. This incident highlights the need for stricter safety regulations and crowd control measures during popular tourist activities.
