Seven fishermen rescued from sinking boat
Published: August 20, 2005
The Coast Guard says seven fishermen from New Bedford were rescued last night from a boat that was sinking in the waters off Nantucket.
The fishermen were aboard the Theresa R- Two when the vessel started taking on water around 10:30 p-m. in waters about 145 miles northeast of Nantucket.
Crew members from the Harvester, another fishing vessel from New Bedford, rescued the fishermen about an hour later.
No injuries were reported.
A Coast Guard cutter is taking the rescued fishermen to Boston today.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the fishing vessel sank.
The Coast Guard searched the area, but couldn’t find the boat.
