Coast Guard Rescues Midshipmen From Boat
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) ―
The Coast Guard rescued 14 people, including some Naval Academy midshipmen and coaches from the academy, after their ship suffered a broken mast.
Coast Guard Petty Officer John Edwards says the mast of a 49-foot Mameluke broke overnight in the West River.
A 41-foot Coast Guard boat rescued everyone aboard the Mameluke. They were then taken to Annapolis.
