The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for four crew members after a cargo ship caught fire and capsized off the coast of Georgia.
Twenty people have been safely removed from a 656-foot vessel named the Golden Ray after it became disabled on the St. Simons Sound off the coast of Brunswick, Georgia, around 2 a.m. Sunday, Coast Guard officials said in a release.
Once the vessel has been determined to be stable, rescue crews will carve out a plan for the best way to enter the ship, officials said. The Port of Brunswick has been closed for the search, and vessels are not permitted within half a mile of the overturned ship, which is visible from shore.
