WATCH: Drone Captures Majestic Beauty of Ship Beached in Rockaway

By Katie Honan | February 26, 2016 3:51pm

After the Carolina Queen III ran aground in Far Rockaway early Thursday in rough seas, photographers and curious neighbors flocked to the beach to catch a glimpse. 

One of those people, Anthony Boxill, brought his drone to the beach on Friday to capture the ship from above, setting the dramatic footage to equally dramatic music. 

The boat's been at Beach 56th Street in Edgemere since, after a Coast Guard vessel that responded to provide help capsized in nearby water.

Everyone from both vessels, including the seven mariners on the large scallop-fishing boat, were later rescued by helicopter. 

It's not immediately clear how long the boat will remain there.
