A $40 million yacht owned by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ family was vandalized and set adrift over the weekend in northern Ohio.
The yacht, named the Seaquest, was moored at Huron Boat Basin in Lake Erie when it was untied from the dock and set adrift, the Toledo Blade reported Wednesday.
The captain of the yacht called police early Sunday to report the incident. The crew gained control of it after it hit a dock, causing an estimated $5,000 to $10,000 in damage, the news outlet said.
Police are investigating the incident and reviewing security footage.
“The concern from the city’s standpoint is that’s a very expensive yacht and we want to show the patrons who come to the city that we’ll provide a good service,” Huron city manager Andy White told the Sandusky Register. “This is a blemish on the city we’d rather do without and we’ll seek to have justice done for this act.”
