Remnants of a capsized chase boat washed up on a Rocky Point beach Friday.
The boat was from the Saugatuck Rowing Club in Connecticut. Nearly 20 people, mostly teens, ended up in the water Wednesday evening.
Two teens treated for hypothermia following the incident have been released from the hospital.
Dan Kramer, of Rocky Point, found the parts of the boat and says he had no idea what it was at first.
"I did not have a clue, but a lot of stuff washes up on this beach, but it was kind of spooky," Kramer says.
Suffolk County police say they will be back on the scene to pick up any remaining remnants of the boat.
