Statement by the Vice President on the Collapse of a Ferry Dock Gangway on Sapelo Island, Georgia

Tonight, Doug and I are praying for all those who were killed or injured in the collapse of the ferry dock walkway on Georgia's Sapelo Island, as well as their family members and loved ones. Our Administration is in close touch with state and local officials, and we have offered any federal support the community might need. As always, we are deeply grateful for the heroism of our first responders. Even in the face of this heartbreak, we will continue to celebrate and honor the history, culture, and resilience of the Gullah-Geechee community.
