A crane working at a marina in East Boston dropped its load onto a boat below during a collapse Thursday morning, fire officials said.

According to fire officials at the scene, the crane was moving the barge into the water at the Boston Harbor Shipyard & Marina when one corner of it came loose, causing the load to crash down onto a boat below. No one was hurt, but the collapse damaged the crane. A second crane has been called in to stabilize the first crane and move the barge back where it belongs.
