The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for four crew members after a cargo ship caught fire and capsized off the coast of Georgia.

Twenty people have been safely removed from a 656-foot vessel named the Golden Ray after it became disabled on the St. Simons Sound off the coast of Brunswick, Georgia, around 2 a.m. Sunday, Coast Guard officials said in a release.

Once the vessel has been determined to be stable, rescue crews will carve out a plan for the best way to enter the ship, officials said. The Port of Brunswick has been closed for the search, and vessels are not permitted within half a mile of the overturned ship, which is visible from shore.

Prayers CoastGuard

I hope they will find them soon, GOD help them , I'm thinking of their families . Working in the sea is dangerous job .

Looks like it was top heavy. Is it still floating or grounded?

I take it the cargo is at the bottom of the sea 🤭

It doesn't look like the ship flooded so they may still be alive unless something heavy fell on them

I read that it caught fire 8(?) hours after it rolled sideways.

🙏🏽

I never really felt comfortable travelling by sea, I don't think its very safe ,can't really predict the sea

Whoa! Is it on it's side?

Harrowing stories of death and survival in first minutes of California boat fireSurviving crew members aboard the Conception tell what happened when fire broke out. Maybe they should install a lower deck escape hatch to the water when you are sleeping more than 3 people in a boat. 'Our pathologist is convinced the victims were victims of smoke inhalation,” he said. “It will likely be the cause of death.” This is so horrible. But I fear that they died in the intense fire. Probably a very decent effort by the coroner's office for the families. No life safety equipment on a vessel with 30+ people?
