A Disney Cruise Line ship that was traversing the Atlantic Ocean made an unexpected stop Sunday to help rescue four people from a sinking catamaran off the coast of Bermuda.
The 50-foot catamaran, named Serenity, began taking on water after a gasket failure in the escape hatch happened about 230 miles away from Bermuda, according to a report from ABC7.
Passengers from Serenity placed a call for help, in which turn the U.S. Coast Guard sent a broadcast.
The Disney Treasure, which was making a voyage from Eemshaven, Netherlands, to Port Canaveral, Florida, was about 80 miles away from the sinking catamaran. The Treasure launched a small boat operation, which made it to the Serenity and rescued all four passengers.
