A leaky cruise ship carrying 848 passengers from Iceland is being held in New York Harbor.
A small hole was discovered in the ship’s hull during a routine safety inspection. About a gallon of water per hour was coming into the ship, according to the Coast Guard.
Chief Petty Officer Russ Tippets said today that’s “a very small amount.”
He added that officials expect the damage to be repaired before the ship’s scheduled departure for Venezuela tomorrow.
