The 48 foot long fishing vessel Full Circle sank near Nantucket Island, Massachusetts.   The Full Circle was fishing when the vessel sprung a leak and took on water.  The fishing vessel sent out a distress call with a nearby Steamship Authority vessel Gay Head responding.  The Gay Head sent over a small boat and rescued the three crew of the Full Circle.  The fishing boat sank a few minutes later.   The Coast Guard was notified and dispatched a response boat to the scene.  No reports of injuries.  The Coast Guard is conducting an investigation into the incident.

The vessel was to be scheduled to be sold later this week.   The Coast Guard is conducting an investigation into the sinking.
