A gangway to the USS Laffey collapsed in high winds on Feb. 26, 2026, stranding 28–30 visitors, but all were rescued safely.
On February 26, 2026, a gangway connecting the USS Laffey, a World War II-era destroyer at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, collapsed while unoccupied, stranding 28 to 30 visitors.
High winds likely caused a mooring line to snap, leading to the incident around 2:45 p.m.
The Mount Pleasant Fire Department responded, using a ladder truck and rescue harness to evacuate all individuals safely with no injuries reported.
The museum remains open, and officials are investigating the cause, raising concerns about aging infrastructure at the attraction.
