The  25 foot long tugboat Annie Moon and a 200 foot long barge sank in the Houston Ship Channel near Galena Park, Texas. During the night, the barge suffered water ingress and began to sink. The tugboat Annie Moon still attached and was pulled down with the barge.  The Annie Moon completely sank while the barge sank with three-quarters of the barge submerged.  No one was on board the vessels at the time of the sinking. Authorities report that 20 gallons of diesel fuel was released into the water.  A heavy lift crane was to be brought to the scene and will remove both vessels from the channel.
