MALPEQUE BAY, P.E.I. — Firefighters rescued five crew members from a mussel fishing boat that ran aground in rough seas off Prince Edward Island’s North Shore on Monday.
New London firefighter Jonathan Gillis said his department received a call requesting assistance around 8:50 a.m. from the Kensington, P.E.I., fire department. Gillis said his department used its inflatable boat to get to the mussel boat, which was stranded on a sandbar and taking on water. “They tried to get close, but to no avail,” Gillis said, adding that the sea was so rough the grounded boat was swamped and its crew, who were wearing life jackets, had to stand on the roof of the vessel until they were picked up.The rescue boat was able to get everyone safely back to the harbour, despite also taking on some water in the rough conditions.
“It’s been in service for about a month now,” he said. “As far as I’m aware, we are the only department on the North Shore … that even has a boat.” -- Volkswagen AG is exploring the sale of as much as €1 billion of stock in Traton SE, people familiar with the matter said, taking advantage of the truckmaker’s surging price to increase the number of shares available for trading.
