The ferry Massachusetts departed Hingham at about 8:30 a.m. Friday right behind an ice breaker, said Alison Nolan, an official with Boston Harbor Cruises. After the ferry went off course, the ice breaker towed it to Boston.
According to Alison Nolan, principal and general manager of Boston Harbor Cruises, which runs the commuter ferry service for the MBTA, none of the 103 passengers was injured and there was no damage to the boat.
