An abandoned boat that sat in the Sasanoa River since February was finally removed last month through the efforts of Arrowsic and several businesses. The wreck of the Hook, Line and Sinker was removed from the northern shore near the Max L. Wilder Memorial Bridge in Arrowsic on Monday, July 31, with crews patching holes in the boat before hauling it off for deconstruction. The towing cost the town approximately $8,175, with Bath Iron Works, Reed and Reed, Inc., and two anonymous donors helping the town with the cost of removal. “The owner of the boat has no resources for us to go after.”
