PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- The U.S. Coast Guard says it expects a crippled tall ship from Nova Scotia will arrive in port in New Hampshire today.
Spokesman Ross Ruddell says Liana's Ransom was being towed by a coast guard vessel, but it wasn't clear when it would arrive in Portsmouth.
The 26-metre, steel-hulled ship suffered a series of equipment failures that led the crew to call for help.
All nine people on board were rescued from the replica schooner early Monday in rough seas and stiff winds.
Ryan Tilley, the ship's captain, says the problems started when a motor failed.
They escalated when the mainsail became tangled with the mast and a generator failed.
