The Wan Hai 176, a 564-foot container ship that lost engine power and drifted about seven miles off the coast of Point Reyes with 21 people aboard Friday, was towed into San Francisco Bay Sunday and is secured at anchorage nine, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Favorable weather conditions Sunday allowed the Delta Deanna, a 112-foot tug, to pass tow lines to the Wan Hai 176’s crew at its anchored location approximately seven miles off the coast of Point Reyes.

Once lines and anchors were secured, the tug, along with the tugs Stacey Foss, Delta Billie, Delta Deanna and Rachel Allen, safely got into the bay.
