BERMUDA – A Disney Cruise Line ship became an unlikely hero after saving the lives of four people stranded on a sinking boat off the coast of Bermuda.
A distress call from a 50-foot catamaran named Serenity came into the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City in North Carolina on Sunday. The boaters alerted authorities to their location about 265 miles off the coast of Bermuda as their vessel was taking on water.
The Coast Guard coordinated a rescue operation with the Disney Crusie Line ship Treasure, the nearest vessel to the stricken catamaran.
