Video: Cruise Boat Raided By Police, Coast Guard


by Ned Berke on Jul 21st, 2010

Police and Coast Guard vessels converged on a cruise boat before a late night party on Friday, July 9. The boat was a Stamford, Connecticut, vessel named Annabel Lee, stationed that night on Pier 1, but never before seen in Sheepshead Bay.

NYPD officials on the scene declined to comment, and the party eventually went forward. But we’ve heard that they were likely cited for liquor license violations.

In the above video, you can see party promoters carrying liquor onto the ship just before an NYPD vessel came alongside it. The NYPD boat docked at Pier 2, where a number of officers unloaded and met on the sidewalk. They then entered the Annabel Lee just minutes after 11:00 p.m. and stayed on board for approximately an hour. Plainclothes detectives came on board at around 11:30, and a Coast Guard vessel stayed next to the cruise boat the entire time.

    I wish you had warned me. A beer would have been good to have in hand while watching that.

    I noticed that ship docked before, might have been by Breezy Point.

    These party boats are causing more problems in our area then they are worth having.
    Bring them fishing fleets back home were they belong in Sheepsheadbay.

    the amount of garbage they leave on Emmons avenue by the piers is unbelievable: starting with plastic cups and ending with chicken bones with an extravagant array of refuse in between. I believe the crews should pick up after their guests just like good dog owners pick up after their dogs.
