Mourners gather at B.C. dock to mourn six lost at sea in fishing charter sinking
About 100 mourners gathered at a Richmond dock as RCMP said four survivors were rescued with hypothermia and no one wore life jackets.
- About 100 mourners gathered at the Imperial Landing Dock in Richmond, B.C., on Sunday to commemorate six victims missing and feared drowned after a commercial charter boat capsized in the Strait of Georgia on June 28.
- Operated by Top Fishing, the vessel went down in deep water with 10 people aboard; four individuals suffering from hypothermia were rescued, and the RCMP confirmed no one was wearing a life jacket.
- Twenty-Three-Year-Old Chen Ming, the boat's captain, is among those lost at sea, while his mother, Ashley Lin, and girlfriend, Hailey Lee, scattered flower petals into the water during the ceremony.
- Bob Zhang, a friend of the captain, observed a broken side door while on the same boat in late May, which Lee stated last week flooded the vessel in an incident two days before the sinking.
- Conservative MP Chak Au attended the vigil after learning of the tragedy from his son, who participated in the search operation, and Au plans to donate $5,000 to the family of Chen.
