The town-operated Island Beach ferry ran aground off the coast of Byram during an afternoon sightseeing cruise. Nearly 150 passengers, many of them senior citizens, had to be evacuated from the boat, which hit a rock outcropping about 1,000 yards offshore from Byram Beach in late September 2002. There were no major injuries and the ferry was repaired and put back in service.
