Three crewmen including the captain of a South Shore lobster vessel are safe, sound and dry after being rescued earlier this morning.
The lobster vessel … Brute Force … out of Baccarro … was pushed on to rocks at Coffin Island near Liverpool by a heavy surf and efforts to refloat the vessel failed.
Around 5 o’clock this morning, with several fishing boats standing-by, a search and rescue helicopter lifted the three men off the vessel to a waiting Coast Guard ship.
The men have since been transported to port.
At last word, Brute Force was still stuck on the rocks.
