A cruise ship, the Disney Treasure, came to the rescue of four people stranded at sea on a disabled catamaran. The incident occurred hundreds of miles off the coast of Bermuda on Sunday.
The 50-foot catamaran, Serenity, encountered difficulties when its escape hatch malfunctioned, causing water to flood the vessel.
The U.S. Coast Guard issued a distress call, and the Disney Treasure, which was nearby, responded to the emergency.
