R marmap getNOAA.bathy Error in if (ncol(x) == 3 & !exists("bathy", inherits = FALSE)) { : argument is of length zero

I've been trying to get bathymetry lines from marmap and recently got the following error message when getNOAA.bathy function is called

Querying NOAA database ...This may take seconds to minutes, depending on grid size
Error in if (ncol(x) == 3 & !exists("bathy", inherits = FALSE)) { : argument is of length zero

This happens even with something as simple as

map <- getNOAA.bathy(lon1=10,lon2=19,lat1=67,lat2=71,resolution=10, keep=TRUE)

I updated the package to the latest version (1.0.4) as I read that there could be issues related to server access. I've also tried running the above script in R rather than RStudio, but the error persists... The function works fine if I use previously downloaded data, but now I needed use use another set of coordinates for a new map.

Any help is much appreciated!

r package

For anyone else looking, the reported error can also result from the server being down - R doesn't give any indication of this. You can check https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/alerts for scheduled outages.
