I'd copy and paste the article, but there is a stern copyright disclaimer. Also, this might belong in the Marinas section?

WISE Updated 9:40 AM EST, Tue, Dec 9, 2008 Large, orange flames sent thick plumes of black smoke shooting into the air near the Lincoln Tunnel during the Tuesday morning commute. Pictures from Chopper4 showed two boats fully ablaze at the Lincoln Harbor Marina after 7 a.m., and North Regional fire officials added that several others nearby also suffered fire damage. It's not clear what started the blaze. At about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Weehawken deputy police chief corrected an earlier report of a fatality by the Coast Guard. The Weehawken official confirmed that there is no death in connection to this morning's fire. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Smoke-Visible-For-Miles-After-Boat-Catches-Fire.html Caption: Crews rushed to a fire in Weehawken where at least two boats suffered heavy damage Tuesday morning.

Someone on another forum, who lives aboard at Lincoln Harbor said the first boat was a 63' Viking MY. In the early photos, thats what she looked like to me. The other boat was pretty well masked by smoke and flames and tough to ID.
