BOSTON (AP) - This was one hull of a traffic jam. A large truck towing an even bigger boat broke down in downtown Boston, snarling traffic in the heart of the city s bustling Financial District.

WCVB-TV reports the 43-foot yacht Maggie Mae was being hauled Wednesday to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center for the New England Boat Show that starts Saturday when the truck stalled.

Boston s narrow streets are tighter than usual because of heavy snow accumulation over the past two weeks.

Workers eventually got the truck and boat out of the congested neighborhood.
