OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) -- The Coast Guard rescued an oil tanker crewman after he suffered a head injury about 60 miles east of Ocean City.
The Coast Guard says one of its helicopters picked up the 47-year-old man Thursday from the Hellas Endurance, a 500-foot, Greek-flagged tanker.
The tanker contacted the Coast Guard about 6:50 a.m. to report the man needed immediate medical attention. The Coast Guard sent a helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City in New Jersey. Fog created low visibility, so pilots used radar to find the ship.

Them Greek people is a bunch of drunks. I'll bet a nickle or a quarter he was drunkern a monkey and ran into a bulkhead.
3:55, although it was a Greek flagged tanker he was actually a Muslim and was praying when it happened. Because of the rough seas that day as he was doing that bowing thing they do as the ship heaved he hit his head on the deck. I do however agree with you about the drunken Greeks.
