Authorities are using deep-sea tech to try find the sunken fishing boat off Massachusetts
- On Jan. 30, the 72-foot fishing vessel Lily Jean sank while returning to Gloucester, Massachusetts, with seven people later reported dead as multiple agencies cooperate to locate the wreck and recover bodies.
- The Lily Jean was returning to port to repair fishing gear when it sank in frigid Atlantic waters, and harsh winter weather has slowed search efforts and made remotely operated vehicle deployment challenging.
- After an alert about 25 miles off Cape Ann, the U.S. Coast Guard launched a search and identified victims including captain Accursio 'Gus' Sanfilippo, crew members Paul Beal Sr., Paul Beal Jr., John Rousanidis, Freeman Short, Sean Therrien, and NOAA fisheries observer Jada Samitt.
- Massachusetts Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr said officials will provide updates to the grieving Gloucester community and urged against spreading false information after the search suspension.
- In more than 300 feet of water, crews face inhospitable winter conditions complicating recovery of the Lily Jean, which appeared in the 2012 History Channel episode 'Nor'Easter Men'.
