The Coast Guard ended its search and rescue today at sunset and will shift their focus. I am guessing they will be involved in recovery efforts.
19 crew members were on board the commercial boat when it capsized during severe weather on Tuesday. Six have been rescued, five have been confirmed dead, and eight remain missing as of Sunday, April 18.
One of the survivors was in the wheelhouse when it went over. The captain is one of the confirmed deaths. The captain was 63 years old and worked on the water his entire life.
Divers have been searching the vessel. I have not read how much of the vessel has been cleared.
The families are holding out hope but it is not looking good.
