A boat has sank in the Northumberland Strait.
JRCC Halifax received a call from the FV Tyhawk, 16 nautical miles west of Chéticamp and the crew indicated they were sinking.
During the call, JRCC lost the signal with the vessel.
There were 5 crew members on the boat at the time of the incident.
Immediately a helicopter, aircraft and two boats were dispatched to the scene.
A vessel in the area was able to find four crew members in the water, and transported them to the Cheticamp hospital.
Both aircraft are on scene conducting a search for the fifth person, alongside several local vessels and the CCGS Cape Spry.
This story will be updated as more details become available.
