SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean and Japanese coast guards were searching for 17 crewmembers of a cargo ship that sank early Wednesday in waters between South Korea and Japan, South Korean officials said Wednesday.
The coast guard of the southern South Korean island of Jeju said five crewmembers were rescued by nearby vessels after the 6,551-ton Jin Tian sank about 150 kilometers (93 miles) south of the island while transporting lumber.
