Crews abandoned ship ship amid 18-foot waves and 40 mile per hour winds on Monday.
The ship was used for classic adventure films and was 90 miles off Cape Hatteras, N.C., when it sank.
Crews boarded two lifeboats and hoped for rescue. The Coast Guard said it has “diminished search and rescue capabilities” as the Category 1 hurricane batters the U.S. East Coast. More sea rescues prompted by Sandy were reported in Delaware Bay. Wearing special cold-weather survival suits, crew members were awaiting rescue Monday in lifeboats designed to hold 25 people.

Thank god for the USCG. Those guys are brave to go out (fly) in that weather.
