The boat at the centre of the Bournemouth beach tragedy hadn't run all week due to bad weather, a passenger claimed today.
Police impounded the Dorset Belle, a pleasure boat which had been close to the vicinity of the tragedy on Wednesday, with a police cordon erected around it in Poole.
Officers are continuing to investigate the two deaths of a 17-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl who died in a tragedy at Bournemouth Pier.
A cousin of the girl paid tribute to her yesterday saying: "You showed me what love is."
It comes as the man arrested in his 40s on suspicion of manslaughter has now been released under investigation as enquiries continue.

Detective Chief Superintendent Neil Corrigan, of Dorset Police, said: âOur thoughts remain very much with the loved ones of the two young people at this horrendous time and we are doing all we can to support their families.
âWe are continuing with our investigation, which is still at the early stages, and would ask people not to speculate about the circumstances surrounding the incident to both protect our enquiries and out of respect for the victimsâ families.
âEarly investigation indicates that there was no physical contact between a vessel and any swimmers at the time of the incident and there is no suggestion of people jumping from the pier or jet skis being involved.
âWe know the beach was very busy when this incident occurred. I am urging anyone who saw what happened, or has any information that may assist our investigation, to please come forward.â
