Over the weekend an 18-foot disabled vessel sank in Great Bay near Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. Three passengers were rescued by the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard says it has rescued three people without injury who were found clinging to the hull of a capsized vessel off the New Jersey coast. Officials said the operator of the 18-foot disabled vessel used a VHF-FM radio to contact the Coast Guard's Delaware Bay sector for help Saturday afternoon, saying the vessel was disabled and needed help getting to shore.
Coast Guard officials said they rerouted an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter that was already in the air for routine training. A TowBoatUS commercial salvage team also heard the distress call and went to the scene, reporting to the Coast Guard that the vessel had capsized and its three occupants were clinging to the overturned hull. Officials said shallow water and weather conditions prevented them from direct aid, but they kept monitoring the situation and updating rescuers.
