‘The sea is ruthless’: Locals reflect on rescue efforts, tragedy at Peggy’s Cove, N.S.
Rescue teams, including the RCMP, Halifax Regional Fire and Rescue, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre and Coast Guard came to the scene. Eventually, they pulled two men from the water. One later died while the other suffered life-threatening injuries.
As rescue crews were arriving, Campbell said local volunteers were around the lighthouse searching, before one suggested they take their boats around the shoals. “He felt that’s the way the tide would take somebody,” he said. At the time, Eric Morash said the locals didn’t know there was a second person in the water, “until they said, ‘There’s somebody else in the water.’”
