William Henry Bay is 114 air miles north of Sitka.

The Coast Guard rescued three hunters off of William Henry Mountain Monday morning. That’s northwest of William Henry Bay in the Lynn Canal.

They received a request for an agency assist from Alaska State Troopers Sunday evening who said two men and a woman were stranded on the mountain without supplies. The three were not in any immediate danger.

The next morning, an MH-60 Jayhawk rescue helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Sitka hoisted the hunters off the mountain and brought them to Juneau. Upon arrival, no medical concerns were reported.
