Hændelsen blev rapporteret af Royal Bahamian Defense Force og videresendt til US Coast Guards Distriktskommandocenter mandag aften. Indvandrerne klamrede sig til skroget og masten af det grundstødte 40-fods sejlfragtskib, da redningsfolkene ankom.

En helikopter fra USA's kystvagt hejste 13 personer op fra vandet efter at have søsat en stor redningsflåde. To fly fra kystvagten nedkastede mad, forsyninger og yderligere otte redningsflåder.

The Royal Bahamian Defense Force sendte en patruljebåd tilstedet for at hjælpe med at redde folkene fra det overfyldte sejlfragtskib.
