The United States Coast Guard rescued 33 people from a sinking vessel in deep water when their boat began taking on water and sinking.
The incident occurred on Monday when Coast Guard District Seven watchstanders received notification from the crew of Coast Guard Cutter Dependable after they encountered a sailing vessel taking on water with 33 people on board approximately six miles north of Cap-Hatien near the Haiti coast, according to a statement from the U.S. Coast Guard.
Pictures of the scene show inclement weather at the time of the rescue with the Dependable's crew members pulling people aboard while their boat was taking on water.
