Grays Harbor, Washington, USA – Coast Guard District Northwest crews and local Good Samaritans rescued four mariners this morning after their vessel began taking on water near the entrance to Grays Harbor.

Sector Columbia River watchstanders received a mayday call and immediately launched crews from Air Station Astoria and Station Grays Harbor.

Good Samaritans aboard the fishing vessel Lady Nancy pulled all four individuals from the water. They performed CPR on one person who was unresponsive, and that individual later regained consciousness.

An Air Station Astoria crew then hoisted the four mariners from the Lady Nancy and transferred them to emergency medical services for higher-level care at a nearby hospital.

As the Coast Guard stated: “Bravo Zulu to all involved in this amazing rescue!”
