CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Structural damage caused a boat house on the Charles River to dip into the water Thursday morning, according to Massachusetts State Police.
The Crimson Sailing Academy near the Longfellow Bridge on the Cambridge side of the river was listing into the water.
Sky25 flew over Memorial Drive where police and fire crews were monitoring the building and working to find out how to prevent it from collapsing.
One lane of Memorial Drive was closed to allow Cambridge Fire crews to secure the building.
