CHARLESTON (AP) -- A coast guard cutter based in South Carolina is helping get the port in Port-au-Prince open so more supplies can be delivered to Haiti after last week's devastating earthquake.
The Coast Guard says its cutter Oak, a 225-foot buoy tender based in Charleston, worked with Navy Seabees and Navy divers on Thursday to place a buoy to direct vessels to the one operational pier in the port.
The Oak remains in Haiti as it works to open more shipping lanes into the harbor.
