The crew of the Fishing Vessel Masonic put on survival suits and abandoned ship into the vessel life raft on Tuesday. The 62 foot Masonic went aground near Coronation Island south east of Sitka and the crew radioed a May Day to the Coast Guard. All crewmen have been rescued by a Coast Guard Helicopter. The cause of the incident is unknown at this time and will be subject to further investigation. The crew of the Masonic was prepared for an emergency and had reportedly recently undergone Coast Guard dockside examination.
