Captain Joe
The 81 foot fishing vessel Captain Joe became disabled while off Cape Ann, Massachusetts. The Captain Joe’s crew discovered that the vessel was taking on water with 6 feet in the bilge. The crew contacted the Coast Guard for assistance. The Coast Guard launched a 47-foot lifeboat along with a Jayhawk helicopter to the scene. The helicopter reached the scene and lowered a dewatering pump to the trawler. The lifeboat then escorted the Captain Joe back to Gloucester. No reports of injuries of the four men on board the fishing vessel.
