Coast Guard, good Samaritans, rescue crew of sinking vessel near Gloucester Harbor
It was a race to the rescue for U.S. Coast Guard officials and good Samaritans when a fishing vessel began sinking on Friday. According to authorities, the crew of the F/V Miss Sandy issued a mayday call 7 nautical miles off Gloucester Harbor, when the boat began flooding rapidly with 4 to 5 feet of water in the engine room. Exhaust fumes also started filling the space, making the situation more dangerous. Within 30 minutes, officials say the CGC William Chadwick, along with local partners and good Samaritans, were on the scene, fighting to save the boat and its crew.
