[naviga:h3]Crew rescued after boat runs aground[/naviga:h3]
HONOLULU — The Coast Guard rescued 19 foreign fishermen and their American captain from a 79-foot U.S.-flagged commercial fishing vessel that ran aground off the shore of Waikiki Tuesday night.
Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Sara Muir said Wednesday that officials are working to get diesel fuel off the boat, which carries 13,000 gallons of fuel and hydraulic oils. There was no sign that any fuel or other hazardous materials had leaked into the water, Muir said.
Officials did not receive a distress call from the Honolulu-based Pacific Princess when it ran aground in shallow water less than 400 yards offshore, Muir said. Eyewitnesses on land reported the incident to the Coast Guard. No one was injured.

MINNEAPOLIS — Two sisters and heirs of the late rock superstar Prince said Wednesday they’re angered that the contents of his vault, including master tapes of unreleased music, have been removed from his Paisley Park studio complex and shipped to California.
Sharon and Norrine Nelson, Prince’s half-sisters, told The Associated Press they are prepared to take legal action to bring the music back to Minnesota. The company running the estate, Comerica Bank & Trust, said the recordings are safe at a reputable storage company in Los Angeles.
