BALTIMORE — The Coast Guard responded to a boat taking on water Wednesday near the mouth of the Big Annemessex River.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Baltimore received a report from a crewmember aboard a 23-foot boat via VHF-FM marine radio channel 16 at approximately 3 p.m. stating the boat he was on was taking on water.
Sector Baltimore watchstanders issued an urgent marine information broadcast and launched a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium boat crew from Coast Guard Station Crisfield to respond.
Once on scene, the RBM crew passed a dewatering pump to the crewmembers aboard the 23-foot boat to begin dewatering efforts.
The RBM crew towed the boat to Somer's Cove Marina in Crisfield.
No injuries were reported.
