Unalaska, AK – The four crew members of a fishing vessel that sank near Adak Sunday morning are alive and well thanks to a rescue from other fishermen in the area.

The 87-foot Exodus Explorer hit a rock about 200 yards from the port of Adak at 5:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Two other fishing boats, the Majesty and the Homeward Bound, responded to the ship's distress call and pulled the crew from the water.

Jerry Downing of Seattle-based B & N Fisheries, which owns the Exodus Explorer, said the ship was fishing for cod out of Adak, but wouldn't provide details on the accident or the state of the vessel, both of which he said are under investigation.

The ship had between 2,500 and 3000 gallons of diesel fuel onboard at the time, and according to the Coast Guard there has been some sheening at the site of the accident, which is near to the Adak Fisheries processing plant. Dutch Harbor-based Magone Marine Service has been contracted to salvage the vessel and deal with cleanup issues.
