BOSTON—The Coast Guard says a clam boat that dragged up canisters of mustard gas earlier this month off the coast of Long Island, N.Y., has been decontaminated.
The Coast Guard's Boston office announced Saturday that there is no detectable sulfur mustard contamination aboard the vessel, the ESS Pursuit.
In addition, 180 clam cages were decontaminated. A cold-storage facility, Sea Watch International in New Bedford, also has been cleaned.
