• Listing barge continues to create unusual sight in Narragansett (turnto10.com) — A partially flooded barge has been intentionally grounded just off Bonnet Shores Beach Club in Narragansett to keep it from sinking or blocking a busy channel. The vessel began listing while carrying pilings to Logan Airport, but officials say there’s currently no pollution risk. It’s not yet clear when the barge will be moved or what comes next.
