摘要：	A family of six-two parents and four children-were traveling in their 17-foot pleasure craft February 26 near the St. May's jetties, just offshore of the border between the east coasts of Florida and Georgia, when their vessel hit something submerged and began taking on water. In the frightening moments as the boat began to sink, one of the children aboard the vessel was able to get a call through to 911. The young person was able to communicate to the dispatcher with the Nassau County (Fla.) Sheriffs Office that the boat was sinking. Then, the call dropped. Around the same time, the Wolf River, a Great Lakes Dredge & Dock crew boat operating in support of the hopper dredge Padre Island, had gone out to the Padre Island to transfer chief engineers. En route back ashore, Wolf River Captain Wayne Marston noticed some debris scattered across the water. As the Wolf River got closer to the debris, Marston saw the family in the water, arms waving in an attempt to get his attention. Marston quickly radioed the Padre Island and asked the crew to hail an inbound U.S. Coast Guard cutter, the Sea Draeon.
