On Saturday morning, the Coast Guard rescued a dog and seven people from a ship which caught fire near Gulfport.
A mayday call from the ship was sent out at around 9:30 a.m. An aircrew was then dispatched to the location of the ship, deploying a rescue life raft on arrival. A boatcrew would later retrieve the seven boaters along with their dog.
“Today officially kicks off National Safe Boating Week. The prudent actions of those aboard the Hatteras – hailing mayday to the Coast Guard and all personnel wearing life jackets, coupled with the quick actions of the aircrew deploying the life raft, ultimately allowed the Coast Guard to bring all seven back to shore safely.” said Lt. Cmdr. Kathleen Sullivan, a Sector Mobile search and rescue mission coordinator.
