Boat considered a total loss after capsizing

LAKE LINDEN — Two people are safe after being rescued in Lake Superior after their boat was capsized.

The Houghton County Sheriff’s Department says the overturned vessel was reported around 11:40 A.M. Wednesday. The two occupants were in the water off Big Traverse Bay. Both individuals were pulled out by a private citizen that was alerted by a neighbor of the persons in the water.

There were no injuries but the 14’ Hubby Craft they were on was a loss due to the rough lake conditions.

The sheriff’s office was assisted by the Bootjack First Responders as well as the U.S. Coast Guard.
