Ethan Allen
Five months after the Ethan Allen tour boat capsized under a clear sky in Lake George, N.Y., killing 20 of the 48 people onboard, the operator of the boat said yesterday that he could not pay out claims to survivors and the families of those who died because his insurance company contended that his policy covered accidents occurring on land, not water. Mr. Quirk, whose family owns Shoreline Cruises, the operator of the Ethan Allen and several other tour boats, said that they have the original insurance quotes, the proposal, which is clearly for marine liability.
