Crew of grounded vessel rescued from rock

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued four crew members of the 'Endurance' on Aug 26, 2021 near the entrance to Beaver Inlet. The Coast Guard command center in Juneau received a call from the ship's crew at 10:57 p.m. on Aug 25, saying they had "run aground, were severely listing and taking on water. The Coast Guard Cutter 'Bertholf' — located about 30 miles northwest of the Endurance when the call came in — was diverted to respond. The cutter launched a small boat and helicopter crew. The helicopter crew arrived on scene just after midnight to find all four survivors huddled on a rock with the tide coming in. They had escaped the grounded boat on a skiff. All four were wearing life jackets. The MH-65 Dolphin helicopter hoisted the survivors from a rock near the grounded fishing vessel Endurance and flew them to Unalaska, where they were placed in the care of awaiting EMS. No injuries were reported at the time of transfer. The Coast Guard was monitoring the grounded vessel and investigating the cause of the incident.
