Saxon Harbor, WI - The Coast Guard rescued 3-people from Lake Superior Tuesday, after their vessel capsized 4-nautical miles offshore near Saxon Harbor, Wisconsin. Around 11-30 a-m, Coast Guard Sault Sainte Marie received a ‘mayday’ distress signal from someone reporting their vessel was rapidly taking on water. A 45-foot Response Boat was dispatched from Coast Guard Station Bayfield. Personnel found a capsized 25-foot vessel with 3-adults clinging to it approximately 200-yards from their starting search point. Station Bayfield brought the survivors on board and took them to Emergency Medical Services personnel waiting at Saxon Harbor.
