    A fishing or commercial vessel is engulfed in fire on open ocean waters, photographed during low-light conditions near dusk or dawn. Intense orange flames are visible amidships and toward the stern, with a large column of dark black smoke rising and drifting to the right. The vessel appears to be listing or low in the water, suggesting structural damage from the fire.
    A maritime search and rescue operation is depicted over open ocean waters at dusk or dawn. A fixed-wing turboprop aircraft, consistent with a Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules, flies overhead while a small orange rescue boat attends to what appears to be an inflatable life raft on the water's surface. The scene suggests an active rescue operation with coordinated air and sea assets.
