Rescue crews from North Carolina and Virginia worked with two other boats, Atlantis and Drystan, to rescue 13 people from a fishing boat that struck a container ship on Friday about 60 miles off the coast of Virginia on Friday.
The Coast Guard received a mayday call around 2 a.m. from crew members aboard the commercial fishing vessel who said their 115-foot boat, Tremont, was sinking after colliding with the 1,000-foot Panamanian-flagged container vessel MSC Rita.
No injuries were reported and coast guard officials say the cause of the collision is under investigation.
