What this video covers
Hurricane Beryl caused widespread destruction to vessels anchored in Tyrell Bay, Carriacou, leaving a high concentration of dismasted boats in its wake.0:14 Many of these vessels, including a 53-foot Jeanneau, a Beneteau First 42, and a Hallberg-Rassy 38, sustained severe structural damage after being driven ashore or colliding with other craft during the storm.1:18 The damage patterns suggest that many boats lost their masts only after grounding or being forced onto rocks.7:20 The storm also decimated local infrastructure, including hurricane-rated docks and mangrove forests that previously served as storm shelters.10:25 The wreckage includes a variety of hull materials, with both steel and fiberglass boats suffering catastrophic rig failure and hull breaches.13:39 Some vessels remain partially submerged or abandoned with emergency contact information displayed on their hulls.8:54 The scale of the damage indicates that for many older or severely compromised boats, the cost of repair now exceeds the vessel's total value.9:23
