A 47-foot Motor Life Boat crew from Coast Guard Station Quillayute River pull five fishermen from the water, one by one, as they abandon ship off Cape Alava, Wash., Jan. 31, 2018.

The 87-foot Sunnfjord had been taking on water, and after dewatering attempts failed, the fishermen abandoned ship and were safely transported aboard the MLB to Coast Guard Station Neah Bay with no reported medical concerns.
