I found this in the local Croton on Hudson police blotter. I guess this guy doesn't have seatow. I'm surprised he's allowed to live on the barge, it's a work barge and I thought it was for repairs on the seawall:
February 18, 12:15 PM: There was a call from a man who was living on the barge at Half Moon Bay and reported that the barge was sinking. Patrol and Croton Fire Department responded to the scene. Officer used a nearby ladder to get the man off the barge. Later, a fire pumper-truck arrived at the scene to remove the water from the barge.
