The fishing vessel Cape Dorset sank off Burnin Peninsula, Newfoundland.  The vessel sent out a distress call after it suffered uncontrolled water ingress.  The crew sent out a distress call with the fishing vessel Ivy Rose responding.  All 19 crewmen on the Cape Dorset abandoned ship to the vessel’s life raft and were safely rescued a short time later by the Ivy Rose.  No reports of injuries.
