- On Monday, the Adirondac, a 115-foot, 400-seat cruise ship operated by Lake George Waterfront Cruises, was heavily damaged by fire while tied to a Lake George, New York dock, and no injuries were reported, officials said.

- Eyewitnesses and video showed flames and thick black smoke pouring from the top floor as four local fire agencies quickly knocked down the fire, with part of the top deck collapsing into the middle floor.

- Local leaders described the blaze as a hard loss and pledged support to the boat owner/operator, recalling the 2005 Ethan Allen capsizing that killed 20 and noting the vessel was drydocked for operation.
