September 25, 2015 — BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Maine — Two fishermen were rescued Friday after their boat sank 50 miles east of Portland.
The Coast Guard said it received an emergency beacon signal about 3:30 p.m. from the fishing vessel Jeanne C.
The Coast Guard said it was unable to raise the crew by radio, so it dispatched two cutters, a 47-foot motor lifeboat from Boothbay Harbor and a helicopter from Cape Cod. The crew from Boothbay Harbor spotted a life raft with two men on it and took them to the pier in Boothbay Harbor, where they were met by an ambulance.
