That operation wrapped up when the fourth member was extricated at 5:50 p.m. Monday. Rescuing the last crew member aboard the Golden Ray represents some challenges, Reed said, as he was trapped behind a glass partition in an engineering room. Rescuers had not been able to get water, food or fresh air to him as they did for the three who rescued, Reed said at the 3:30 p.m. press conference.
Despite his ordeal, the fourth and final crewman was in fairly good condition, Coast Guard Brunswick Commander Justin Irwin said.
"He pretty much walked out on his own," Irwin said.
All four are expected to be released from the hospital tomorrow, Irwin said.
