Captain Joe

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.
