Three men clinging to the bottom of a capsized boat were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard off Jonesport on Friday afternoon.
U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Jason Smith said the Coast Guard received a report at 4:30 p.m. that a small fiberglass fishing vessel had overturned off of Pig Island Gut.
A Coast Guard rescue vessel out of Jonesport located the three men an hour later.
Smith said there were strong seas reported in the area but the cause of the capsize is not yet known.
The three men, whose names were not available, were transported by a local ambulance service for medical treatment.
