Petty Officer Shawn Eggert said a 47-foot motor lifeboat crew from Station Grays Harbor was dispatched to the 69-foot fishing vessel Haeshin after receiving a distress call Monday evening.

Eggert identified the men as Gary Cortner, of Tacoma; Bunthoeun Toun, of Seattle, and James Timothy Maupin, of Westport.

No injuries were reported.
