CHARLESTON, S.C. — A Coast Guard cutter based in South Carolina is headed to Haiti to help with earthquake recovery.
The cutter Dallas left for Port-au-Prince on Sunday.
The ship will help patrol Haitian waters and is also bringing relief supplies. The 378-foot cutter is carrying extra life vests to help in any rescues of Haitian boats trying to flee the quake’s aftermath.
Lt. Ryan Gomez says those boats usually are unsafe.
The Charleston-based Coast Guard ship Oak headed to Haiti shortly after last month’s earthquake.
The Dallas could be gone for more than three months.
