DOWNTOWN (WCSC) - A family welcomed their newborn son into the world Tuesday morning not in a hospital, or even on land at all.

Jack Benjamin Midence was born at 8:01a.m. on Tuesday, May 15 while aboard his parents' sailing vessel, the Kitty Hawk.

Nicole Midence and her family were on their sailing vessel Monday night when she went into labor. The family called their midwife, who arrived at the ship docked at Ashley Marina at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday morning as the family prepared for the birth.

Jack Benjamin was born less than seven hours later in a natural birth. Nicole's husband Jack says he, "got to catch the baby on his way out." The healthy newborn weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz.

Jack Benjamin's sister Marietta, who is 18 months old, greeted her sea-worthy brother with kisses and hugs, says their father.

The event was entered into the ship's log, the father said.
