Large Ship Stuck in Delaware River

The U.S. Coast Guard worked Tuesday to free a large bulk cargo ship that got stuck on mud while motoring along the Delaware River.

The Nord Explorer came to a stop in the Delaware River near the Tacony Palmyra Bridge in the early morning hours Tuesday, officials said.

The Coast Guard sent a tug boat to help free the Nord Explorer. The ship was moving by 8 a.m.

The ship was not carrying any cargo. There are no reported injuries.
