    A crewman from the Ecuadorian fishing vessel Marujita clings to the hull of the capsized vessel approximately 336 miles southeast of Clipperton Island as a rescue swimmer from a Coast Guard cutter swims to his aid, August 7, 2019. The crewman was one of 25 crew members and 12 Coast Guardsmen who abandoned the Marujita and were rescued by the crew of the Coast Guard cutter after the 160-foot fishing boat listed and capsized.

    The image shows a large cargo vessel named 'MAPUJITA' listing heavily to one side in open ocean waters. A person in an orange life jacket is visible in the water near the hull of the ship. A second individual appears to be seated on the exposed bulbous bow area of the tilted vessel.
    Two individuals are suspended on a rope alongside the hull of a large vessel over open ocean water. One person, wearing a red jacket and appearing to be a rescuer, is holding onto another person who is wearing only swim briefs and fins, suggesting a maritime rescue operation. The rescuer appears to be assisting the swimmer in climbing up the side of the ship.
    A large fishing vessel is capsizing and sinking at sea, listing heavily to starboard at an extreme angle. Fishing gear including extensive yellow float lines and netting has spilled into the surrounding water. An orange inflatable life raft and a blue rigid rescue craft are visible in the water near the stricken vessel, indicating an emergency evacuation situation.
