Two Annapolis Sailors Rescued After Shipwreck

An Annapolis sea captain and his crew were shipwrecked after a storm struck them at sea, dousing them in waves the size of three-story buildings, the The Baltimore Sun reports.

The crew was rescued by the coast guard after being stranded in a deadly storm in March in their power sailboat Andante II along the shore of Cape Lookout, NC. The Andante has not been found since that fateful night on March 6.

Captain Pat Schoenberger and first mate Jim Southward started their journey with a meeting at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, where they were both hired for a job—to ferry a sailboat from Severn, VA to Pensacola, FL. But after encountering 30-foot waves and running out of fuel, they contacted rescuers, who hauled them on board a helicopter and took them to safety.
