The 65 foot long fishing vessel Terra Nova sank a few miles off Cape Ann, Massachusetts.  The two crew on board the Terra Nova had contacted the Coast Guard that the vessel had suffered water ingress.  The forward section had six feet of water and the Terra Nova’s pumps were unable to keep up with the flooding.   The crew dropped the vessel’s anchor and donned survival suits before abandoning ship.  A Coast Guard helicopter located the men in the water.  One crewman was rescued by the Coast Guard 47-foot motor lifeboat while the other was rescued by the harbormaster boat from Rockport.   Both men were taken to hospital.

The 2 men on board the 40-foot wooden sea scallop boat Probable Cause contacted the Coast Guard that the vessel had water ingress and was in need of assistance.  The Probable Cause was off Provincetown, Massachusetts, when the vessel began to flood.   The Coast Guard deployed the 47-foot motor lifeboat and a Jayhawk helicopter to the stricten Probable Cause.   The lifeboat was able to tow the Probable Cause back to port while the helicopter did an aerial inspection for any pollution being released.   While tied to the pier, the crew of the Probable Cause were able to make temporary repairs to the leak.   No reports of injuries or pollution being released.
