BOSTON (AP) — Officials say the crew of a fishing boat recovered a man who had fallen overboard from a tanker and began CPR before the Coast Guard rushed him to shore. Officials said the crew of America pulled the man from the water Tuesday morning. CPR continued aboard a Coast Guard rescue boat that took him to shore, where an ambulance was waiting. The man’s condition is not known. The Coast Guard says a mayday from the tanker MTM Dublin went out shortly after 4:30 a.m., reporting a crew member had fallen overboard.
