    A dark-hulled sailboat appears to be grounded or in distress very close to a sandy shoreline with dense evergreen trees in the background. A smaller red rescue or response vessel is positioned nearby, suggesting an active maritime emergency or assistance operation. The water is choppy with visible whitecaps, indicating windy conditions that may have contributed to the incident.

    A 35-foot sailing vessel is aground near Round Island in the Straits of Mackinac while a crew from Coast Guard Station St. Ignace and a commercial salvage crew attempt to maneuver in close, June 23, 2015. Due to the sea state and shallow water, a Coast Guard aircrew from Air Station Traverse City was needed to rescue a 65-year-old woman from the vessel.

    A dark-hulled sailboat appears to be grounded or in distress very close to a sandy shoreline with dense evergreen trees in the background. A smaller red rescue or response vessel is positioned nearby, suggesting an active maritime emergency or assistance operation. The water is choppy with visible whitecaps, indicating windy conditions that may have contributed to the incident.
    A red and white helicopter, identifiable as a U.S. Coast Guard aircraft, hovers over a body of water near a capsized or severely listing sailboat. The sailboat's mast and sail are visible at a steep angle, indicating the vessel is in distress. The scene appears to be an active maritime rescue operation on a lake or coastal waterway bordered by dense coniferous forest.
