The captain of the Martha's Vineyard reported the incident to Coast Guard watchstanders at 9 p.m.
The Coast Guard Cutter Hammerhead and a response boat crew from Coast Guard Station Woods Hole responded to the scene while a commercial tow was arranged.

78 people were on board the ferry when it lost power. There were no reported injuries and the cause of the power loss is being investigated.
