Coast Guard members from Station Hatteras Inlet tow five boaters with a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat after the boaters activated an Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon when their boat lost power approximately 22-miles east of Hatteras Inlet, North Carolina, May 11, 2019.

Watchstanders at the Coast Guard's 5th District diverted an HC-130 Hercules rescue aircraft crew to the site of the EPIRB distress signal. After the aircrew spotted the boaters, the 47-foot Motor Lifeboat crew took the boaters in tow and returned them to Hatteras Inlet.
