    Coast Guard crewmembers aboard a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium from Station Cortez, Florida and a Charlotte County Sheriff's Office marine unit crew assist three men Wednesday after their 52-foot fishing boat started sinking 4 miles west of Gasparilla Pass, Florida. Attempts to dewater and tow the boat were unsuccessful, so the boaters were transported to the Venice Inlet, Florida, where family members were waiting. (U.S. Coast Guard photo)

    A Coast Guard or rescue vessel is approaching a commercial fishing/shrimp trawler in rough, choppy sea conditions under an overcast sky. The foreground vessel, identifiable by its orange hull stripe and aluminum superstructure, appears to be on an intercept course with the distant trawler. Sea conditions appear moderate to rough, suggesting a potential maritime assistance or rescue operation.
    A commercial shrimp trawler named 'Salty Lady', hailing from Port Isabel, TX, is shown in rough, choppy seas under overcast skies. The vessel appears to be in distress or being assisted, with a line visible connecting it to what appears to be a U.S. Coast Guard response boat visible on the right edge of the frame. The sea conditions are clearly adverse, with significant wave action surrounding the trawler.
    A nighttime scene showing three men aboard a commercial fishing vessel named partially visible as '...Lady' with a home port ending in '...ers, FL' (likely Fort Myers, FL). Two of the men are wearing red survival/immersion suits with what appear to be Coast Guard insignia, suggesting this is a maritime law enforcement boarding or rescue operation. The vessel appears to be a shrimp trawler based on the visible nets and rigging.
