Rumors swirled for months about what would happen to the former commercial fishing trawler, owned by The Town Dock Inc. in Narragansett, R.I., but no action took place. Various government agencies referred questions to other agencies, with a commercial towing service eventually attaching a buoy marker to the vessel and leaving it sitting on the bottom of the ocean, even through the busy spring and summer boating seasons.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24640\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/susan_rose_nov2024.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24640\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/susan_rose_nov2024-1024x693.jpg\" alt=\"A barge in place to salvage the Susan Rose almost a year to the day it sank off Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., Nov. 10, 2024.
