A Coast Guard aircrew maintains air coverage of a survivor climbing a ladder to go onboard the container ship Coqui, Jan. 21, 2025. The man is one of four survivors who moments earlier were forced to abandon the sailing vessel Mariposa after it sank in Atlantic Ocean waters north of Dominican Republic. The four U.S. boaters were rescued by fishermen from the fishing vessel Bonanza who transferred the survivors to the U.S. flagged container ship, Coqui, for their transport to Jacksonville, Fla.
