A Carnival Cruise Line ship helped the U.S. Coast Guard rescue a stranded mariner approximately 69 miles off the coast of Port Canaveral, Florida over the weekend.
Carnival Magic crew responded to a distress call from the man whose sailboat was disabled at approximately 1 a.m. on Saturday.
The ship’s crew immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard and a MH-60 Jayhawk from the USCG Air Station in Clearwater was dispatched to rescue the man. Footage from the aircrew’s successful rescue was captured and shared by the Coast Guard’s helicopter.
