March 13, 2015 — The Coast Guard rescued a stranded fishing vessel 32 miles east of Nantucket, Massachusetts, Wednesday.
Watchstanders at Sector Southeast New England in Woods Hole, Massachusetts received a distress call via channel 16 VHF from the five-person crew aboard the 75-foot scallop vessel Hunter, that they were adrift without power after their main engine failed.
The Coast Guard attempted to reach nearby mariners to assist the Hunter, but none were able. The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Tybee, a 110-foot patrol boat from Woods Hole launched, arrived on scene, and took the Hunter in tow toward Nantucket Sound.
