MV ''Iyanough''

MV Iyanough is a high-speed ferry that operates for the Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority on a route between Hyannis and Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Iyanough was built by Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding to an Incat Crowther design at a cost of $9.7 million[1] and was delivered to the Authority in January 2007.[2] She was christened and commissioned into service during a ceremony on Nantucket Island on March 24, 2007.[1]

On the night of June 16, 2017, Iyanough crashed into a jetty in Hyannis harbor, injuring nine passengers.[3][4][5]

Iyanough measures 154 feet (47 m) in length, with a beam of 39 feet (12 m), and draws 5.3 feet (1.6 m).[2] She is powered by four MTU diesel engines, which give her a top speed of 38 knots (44 mph) when fully loaded.[2] She has a passenger capacity of 393, with 350 indoor seats and 40 on the outer deck.[1]
