Tug Sinks Off Long Island, 3 Rescued

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued three survivors from a sunken tugboat Saturday in the icy Atlantic Ocean, but reported that one crew member had died and his body was recovered. The three survivors were treated for hypothermia and reported in fair condition. Donald Maloney, the on-duty captain, was unable to put on his survival suit, Suffolk County police said. His crewmates - Lars Vetland, Jason Reimer and Rainer Bendixen - were able to get into their suits. The 65-foot tugboat Sea Bear was traveling from Shinnecock to New York City when the crew called a vessel traffic service to report that the tug was taking on water, said Coast Guard Command Duty Officer Mark Averill.
