July 20, 2018 — The U.S. Coast Guard says two fishermen whose boat overturned off the North Carolina coast have been rescued.
A news release said the wife of one of the men called for help Tuesday after reporting that the generator on their boat wasn’t working and the men were trying to find a safe place in deteriorating conditions.
The Coast Guard said the men had departed Ocracoke that morning and were planning to shrimp in Pamlico Sound before unloading their catch in Engelhard.
