Equity

The 42 foot long fishing vessel Equity sank near Heceta Island, Alaska.  The fishing vessel had struck rocks near the island holing the hull.   The three crew on board contacted the Coast Guard that the vessel was filling with water and were abandoning into the vessel’s life raft.   A helicopter was dispatched to the scene, but another fishing vessel, the High Pocket, arrived and rescued the three crewmen.   No reports of injuries.   The Coast Guard disabled the EPIRB and disposed the liferaft.   The men were taken to Klawock.
