A fire broke out at Seabrook Harbor &amp; Marine in New Orleans, the United States, early Sunday morning (13 November). According to eyewitness statements, the fire broke out shortly before 5:45 am damaging several yachts being moored and stored at the marina.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248936/image/large-d9dc5569438461544cb839e4a66e32bf.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248936"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248929/image/large-9b945c4a25c527f85643de8d985298e6.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248929"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248946/image/large-4028344956b700e5e60d61af8b1ca57f.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248946">A New Orleans Fire Department (NOFD) spokesperson said the fire had destroyed a one-storey wood-framed building and five boats– three of which were in dry dock on land and two were docked in the water. Witness reports believe one of the boats damaged may be a 23.4-metre wooden boat, Bougie built in 1929.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248944/image/large-f4f1f169ccc76dfab60d2ec4a7840101.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248944"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248930/image/large-0745e9fa07ec810320ae5f56bd761ab2.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248930">NOFD battled against high winds which sent burning embers and debris through the air, igniting two boats that were not near the original fire. The efforts to control the flames were hindered by the lack of fire hydrants near the source.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248937/image/large-098ba4c4628434de1ef4f6a6c144bf9e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248937"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248942/image/large-83ac6a75f97059d2b16927796068d057.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248942"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248923/image/large-d7a1fdb9acfc2589f6b7a745b9d22e69.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248923">As a result of this, a second alarm was sounded at 5:54 am, with the third alarm struck to signal for more manpower to assist with pumping water from the canal to extinguish the flames. It took a total of 21 NOFD units, carrying 55 firefighters to bring the blaze under control at 8:17 am.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248933/image/large-f579da4b20bc1dc4030a2eae0916bfbd.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248933">No injuries have been reported and NOFD say the cause of the fire remains under investigation.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/55771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Update: Two more superyachts added to the list of casualties in 2022 (2022-09-05 10:45:00 +0200)">Update: Two more superyachts added to the list of casualties in 2022<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248924/image/large-ad0b84a8a7a2e4d21aab8cf3c744af49.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248924"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248925/image/large-d22004e81a7883fa8e52dd27dc2d9c28.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248925"></a>Seabrook Harbor &amp; Marine is New Orleans’ first and largest dry-stack and repair facility working with boats up to 155-feet (47-metres.)

The yacht is currently positioned in the surf zone, just metres from a rocky outcrop, where it has been exposed to strong winds and breaking waves since Wednesday.Local reports indicate that the first salvage attempt on Thursday was abandoned due to challenging sea conditions. With the yacht remaining in shallow water, authorities and salvage specialists are continuing to monitor the situation closely, warning that prolonged exposure to the surf increases the risk of structural damage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/383704/image/large-3a549a5797b22cbb0c72055c1df76d5a.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/383704">According to experts involved in the operation, the yacht’s displacement of approximately 90 tonnes and a draft exceeding three metres are significantly complicating recovery efforts. High waves and strong surf have so far prevented the safe deployment of tugboats, with any further salvage attempt dependent on an improvement in weather conditions.The circumstances leading to the grounding remain unclear, with questions raised as to why the charter yacht was operating so close to shore amid deteriorating weather, although no official statement has yet been issued.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/383706/image/large-36bc5783f3b19d62d27ebd23f358b956.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/383706">Launched in 1985 from Germany, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8917" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Acoa28.0m (91'10&quot;)Dubbel & Jesse Yachtbau GmbH & Co.
