Four people are safely on land after they were rescued from a sinking boat in Boston Harbor.
The two men and two women were on a pleasure boat near Peddocks Island yesterday afternoon when they sent out a mayday call that the craft was taking on water.
All four put on life jackets and abandoned the sinking ship, and were quickly rescued by a State Police boat that rushed to the area.
One of the boaters suffered a small cut, but the group was otherwise uninjured.
