Rescuers who saved nine crewmen near the mouth of Frobisher Bay in a remote part of northern Canada battled “wild North Atlantic waters in one of the roughest and coldest” areas of the world, one of the Royal Canadian Navy’s top brass told the media.
“By all reports, they’re feeling pretty good right now,” said Halifax-based Rear-Admiral John Newton, commander of Maritime Forces Atlantic and the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre.
He said the crew has been transferred to a Canadian coast guard vessel that will steam the crew home. They’re expected to arrive in Harbour Grace, N.L., sometime on Friday.
