VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Nov. 8) - A captain ran a small cruise ship with 66 people aboard aground in an isolated stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway early Thursday after it began taking on water, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

The captain wanted to keep the 207-foot ship from sinking, Lt. Chris White said. There were no reports of injuries.
