Coast Guard Rescues Four on Lake St. Clair

Four people were rescued Sunday by the U.S. Coast Guard from a boat that was taking on water in Lake St. Clair.

Coast Guard Sector Detroit received a call at 9:48 a.m. Sunday from the operator of a 29-foot vessel that was taking on water about four miles offshore from Beacon Cove Marina in Lake St. Clair, according to a release.

A boat crew from Coast Guard Station St. Clair Shores responded to the call, along with two boats from the Macomb County Sheriff's Office, to the vessel with  two adults and two children onboard. 

The four boaters were transferred to Coast Guard vessel and taken to shore. A broken intake hose on the boat, which officials report was the source of the flooding, was secured and the vessel was towed to the marina.

The names and hometowns of the four people rescued are not being released.
