Grounding of the F/V Jamie K--DSC3006--Cape Blanco, Oregon

On the second day after the grounding a crew works to try to recover the Jamie K. but by nightfall they had had no success.

 

On the evening of Monday, July 20th, 2015, this 65 foot shrimp boat out of Charleston in Coos County, Oregon, hit some rocks while maneuvering through a hazardous area called the "Little Hole" to reach a good fishing area. A U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer was able to get all four crew members safely to shore during the night one at a time. Recovering the boat is proving to be a challenging task.
