Good samaritan rescue of 2 from fishing boat off Manasquan Inlet
STAFF REPORT • September 8, 2009



What the U.S. Coast Guard described as a Good Samaritan rescue, two people were safely brought to shore after they called for help when the 59-foot boat they were on was taking on water 27 miles east of Manasquan Inlet Tuesday.




The Coast Guard said in a prepared release that it overheard a distress call between the crew of fishing boat Lady M and an unknown commercial provider reporting they were taking on water and listing.
The Coast Guard issued an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast and launched Coast Guard rescue crews to assist.
Rescue boat crews from Coast Guard stations in Point Pleasant Beach and Barnegat Light, and an aircrew from Coast Guard Air Station in Atlantic City were dispatched.
The crew of the Atlantic Traveler responded to the broadcast and recovered both people from a life raft they got into after they abandoned the Lady M, capsized and sank in 276 feet of water, the release said.
The crew of the Atlantic Traveler took the two people to Point Pleasant Beach. No injuries were reported, the Coast Guard said.

I listened to the whole thing on the radio, she sank with 600 gallons of fuel.

600 gallons? That can do a lot of damage. I know there were environmental groups that stopped the subway cars from being sunk because they contained a small amound of asbestos that "might" someday deteriorate. Fuel is a lot worse than asbestos because it can travel. What do they do in a situation like that, just leave on the bottom?

The latest from cape may. CG press release.


The Coast Guard assisted the crew of a fishing boat taking on water Wednesday 80 miles east of Cape May, New Jersey. Watchstanders from the Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay command center received notification Wednesday at 5:35 a.m. by a good Samaritan that the 77-foot fishing vessel Golden Nugget, homeported in Cape May, was taking on water. The Golden Nugget used an electronic position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) to report their distress.

The Coast Guard launched multiple assets in an effort to aid the vessel in distress, including: MH-65 dolphin helicopter crews from Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City, New Jersey, A C-130 Hercules crew from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina, The crew of the Cape May-based Coast Guard Cutter Mako.
Coast Guard helicopter crews transferred a dewatering pump to crew members aboard the fishing vessel, and flooding was contained.
The crew of the Mako assisted while Coast Guard aircrews remained on scene to monitor the situation. No injuries or pollution have been reported.
