Good Samaritans pull fi ve from sunken vessel
Injured
crewmember
hoisted from
bulk carrier
Quick response by local fi shermen saved fi ve crabbers
the tipping of the boat to the right
side.
The boat eventually capsized,
sending fi ve people into the water.
The Coast Guard dispatcher put out a
call for nearby vessels to assist, with
the last known location of the Star
King.
By 5:10 a.m., the entire crew of
the Star King had been pulled in by
the crew of a nearby crabbing vessel,
the Ballad.
Chester Bushnell, captain of the
Ballad, said his vessel was about 1/4
mile away, waiting for the 8 a.m. start
to dump crab pots, when he heard the
mayday call.

Astoria.
“We’re in immediate distress,
need help right away,” the caller said.
“Any boats in the area … please come

A 60-year-old crewmem-
ber who reportedly lost sight
in his left eye was taken off a
bulk carrier by the U.S. Coast
Guard Friday morning near
the mouth of the Columbia
River.
According to the Coast
Guard, the man apparently lost
sight in his eye on Tuesday
while the Alexandria, a 740-
foot Marshall Islands-fl agged
bulk carrier, was 610 miles
west of the river. The Coast
Guard and the ship’s cap-
tain made plans to remove the
injured crewmember when the
ship was closer to land.
A Coast Guard MH-60 Jay-
hawk helicopter picked up
the man at about 8 a.m. Fri-
day about 15 miles west of the
river entrace. He was taken to
the Coast Guard base in War-
renton and then to Columbia
Memorial Hospital in Astoria.
Struggle resulted in offi cer sustaining minor injuries

“The quick, selfl ess actions taken
by the crew of the good Samaritan
crab vessel … Ballad and the fact that
the Star King’s crew put on survival
suits saved fi ve lives today,” Chief
Petty Offi cer Justin Urbano, a com-

Guard had a quick response, but
these fi shermen were out of the water
before we arrived on scene.”
The Star King had approximately
300 gallons of fuel on board when it
sank. Personnel from Sector Colum-

The Ballad stayed about 50 feet
away from the Star King and the
debris fi eld surrounding the vessel,
he said, waiting to pick up the Star
King’s crew as they jumped into the
water. He said the vessel’s captain did
everything right, from not hesitating
to make a mayday call to ensuring his
crew donned survival suits.
“We’re all out there watching each

time anybody can help anybody out,
that’s just kind of our code of honor,
you might say.”
