JUNEAU, Alaska, July 27 (UPI) -- A crew of 46 people abandoned a fishing boat and were rescued by two nearby vessels in the Bering Sea.
The U.S. Coast Guard received a radio beacon alert from the 220-foot Alaska Juris around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday and contacted the crew to see if they needed help about 700 miles off the Alaskan coast and 150 miles northwest of Adak Island.
