The Coast Guard is searching for four missing people after a luxury charter fishing boat sank off the coast of Alaska.
Rescuers located one deceased individual near the vessel partially submerged near a small island close to Sitka, Alaska.
Kingfisher Charters, a Sitka-based company that operates all-inclusive fishing trips, reported the missing vessel to the Coast Guard on Sunday evening. The vessel was last seen on Sunday afternoon near Kruzof Island, less than 10 miles from the small rocky island where the ship was found, according to the Coast Guard.“We’re working quickly to locate the unaccounted-for individuals,” Coast Guard Commanding Duty Officer Trevor Layman said, citing multiple “unknowns” involved in the search.
