Fishermen rescued after boat sinks off Nantucket coast

NANTUCKET, Mass. (WLNE) — Three fishermen were rescued over the weekend after their boat sank off the coast of Nantucket.

The United States Coast Guard released footage of Saturday’s rescue, about five miles offshore.

A helicopter was sent out after the Coast Guard station on Cape Cod received an emergency distress call from the crew of the “Miss Kara.”

They were found holding onto a flotation device and flown to Hyannis, where an ambulance was waiting for them.
