A fishing boat sank and the Coast Guard rescued all three men on board, including the brother of one of the fishermen lost in the 1991 sinking portrayed in the book and film "The Perfect Storm."

The 45-foot boat, the Hollywood, sent a mayday call before it sank Wednesday about 45 miles east of Gloucester. A Coast Guard jet picked up the signal and its crew spotted the men, who had climbed aboard a life raft, the Coast Guard said.

A Coast Guard helicopter arrived to lift the three men one-by-one from the 39-degree water. Two of the three men had been wearing survival suits, and all three declined medical attention.



dude, if my brother was lost at sea, I would have second, third and fourth thoughts about going out myself
