The investigation is being conducted with the Coast Guard Investigative Service and the NYPD. An illegal charter is a passenger-for-hire operation that lacks required Coast Guard credentials, safety equipment and a certificate of inspection, according to the Coast Guard. Police said they received a 911 call at about 10:25 p.m. Saturday reporting an overturned vessel near Liberty Island, home to the Statue of Liberty. The boat was in the Hudson River near Buoy 32, between the Statue of Liberty and Bay Ridge Anchorage, police said. The capsizing triggered a large emergency response in the dark waters near Liberty Island, located south of Manhattan, between New Jersey and Brooklyn.
