Fishing Boat Sinks at Dock

A salvage company was trying to raise a 75-foot fishing boat that sank at the Point Lookout Fish Dock at 4:30 a.m. Monday, the Coast Guard reported.

The wooden-hulled Pearl W. O'Neal based in New Bedford, Mass., contacted the Coast Guard when it began taking on water at the dock where it was tied up alongside another fishing boat. Pumps were unable to keep up with the flooding, and the Pearl W. O'Neal sank to the sandy bottom.

The good news is that the crew was not injured.
