Four people visiting from out of state were rescued from the Penobscot River Sunday after the canoe they were in capsized near the municipal boat landing in Old Town.

The four canoeists, Dorothy Johnson, 54, Dorothy Skwara, 49, Fred Schoolic, 54, and Ed Kerns, 51, all of New Jersey, were not injured, according to Sgt. Donald Rhodes of the Old Town Police Department.

Rhodes said the four were staying in Medway and were inexperienced at canoeing. Rhodes said the canoe bumped into a submerged log and Kerns overreacted and turned the canoe too quickly.

The canoe tipped over sending all four into the river. Rhodes said some people on shore heard the foursome yelling and called police. A game warden from Indian Island was nearby and jumped in his boat and rescued them, Rhodes said.
