According to International news, Kingfisher Charters, a Sitka-based company that operates 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.
The vessel was found undamaged but partly submerged off Low Island, about 10 miles west of Sitka. One individual’s body was found about 100 yards away.
"Despite our best efforts and those of several partner agencies, we were not able to find the four remaining individuals", said Capt. Darwin Jensen, Captain of the Port – Southeast Alaska.
