No one was hurt when a ferry service out of Vinalhaven ran aground Wednesday morning.
The Maine Department of Transportation says the Captain Richard G. Spear was pulling away from Vinalhaven around 10:30 Wednesday morning when it hit a ledge.
70 people were on board but no one was hurt. Transportation officials said damage to the vessel does not appear to be significant.
