Yacht stuck on Mississippi River in St. Louis | Drone video

Drone video from KSDK's Sky Lens 5 show the boat stuck on the chain of rocks several miles north of downtown St. Louis. The yacht has been stuck for several days on the low rocky area of the river.

Really have to give credit to the drone pilot. Those were very smooth orbit shots.

If you have ever seen the Mississippi there you know the water is not possible there. Hence the name Chain of Rocks.

Cool footage.

[@TheBudgetGunCollector]

It would be cool if they kept it there like a tourist attraction. That’s what they did at Niagara Falls with a barge that almost went over the edge

All that Boat and no depth finder? No tow boats in the area? Geez call somebody!

[@nonaeubinis4934]

Omg how is the Mississippi so low?

[@TeeroyHammermill]

It's always been low in that area. That's why the canal was built.

Thats not a yacht that's a sail boat with it's mast stepped down to get under certain bridges

[@alexwang4894]

I knew I saw a boat there the other day

[@1mespud]

Just a guess, but most likely it'll free itself once the river rises.

What in the hell was this captian thinking. Why did he/she not use the locks.

[@grumpydrunken1268]

The locks? The navigation canal.
