A commercial fishing boat hit ground and capsized, leading to the rescue of three people and a fuel spill in Boston Harbor.
The 86-foot scallop fishing boat became stuck in shallow water and tilted over near Green Island with three people on board, Coast Guard officials said. The Coast Guard said it received a distress call about the accident at about 7:45 a.m.
The crew on board the New Bedford-based boat, Eileen Rita, put on immersion suits when the vessel ran aground, the Coast Guard said. None of them were injured, and Boston Police safely removed them and transferred them to land, the Coast Guard said.
