NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A yacht was destroyed by fire at west Nashville’s Rock Harbor Marina on Saturday.

The boat’s owner, Larry White, said he was busy doing some work on this yacht earlier in the day.  White said he left the marina, only to being called back by a friend who said the boat was on fire.

The owner of the marina managed to tow the boat out of the harbor to an open area of the Cumberland River, which prevented the flames from damaging any other boats.

Firefighters worked to put out the flames, but it was too late to save the boat from sinking.

There were concerns Saturday evening that fuel from the yacht may leak into the Cumberland.
