Large clipper ship sinks in Alameda
ALAMEDA, Calif. - A large clipper ship sank Sunday night in the waters in Alameda.
Firefighters arrived at 6:15 p.m. at Blanding Avenue, just behind a shopping center by Nob Hill Foods, to find the dock underwater, and the vessel sinking.
Firefighters cut the ship's lines to keep it from dragging down other boats and safely moved one vessel out of harm's way.
The ship was unoccupied at the time.
Crews are working with the Oakland Fire Department, the Coast Guard and state emergency officials to contain any oil, and keep it from leaking into the water.

Readers critique The Post: Spelling bees are pointless. So is correct spelling.
Every week, The Post runs a collection of letters of readers' grievances — pointing out grammatical mistakes, missing coverage and inconsistencies. These letters tell us what we did wrong and, occasionally, offer praise. Here, we present this week's Free for All letters. As a proud English teacher for 60 years, I read Nicole Krauss's May 25 Opinion essay, 'The end of writing and reading will be the end of freedom,' with enthusiasm — and with horror at the knowledge that so many young people have no concept of the joy of reading. It put into words all the fears I have had over the years about the written word becoming obsolete. It also brought me back to a sense of optimism that some of our youths still cherish reading. I hope I have nurtured all my students to read and appreciate the written word.
