A commercial fishing vessel, carrying a crew of seven, is presumed to have sunk off the Massachusetts coast, prompting an intensive, round-the-clock search by the U.S. Coast Guard. Rescuers are battling howling winds and frigid temperatures in their efforts to locate survivors.
The 72-foot Lily Jean issued an alert early on Friday morning, approximately 25 miles off the port of Gloucester. Following the distress signal, Coast Guard teams quickly located a debris field near the alert, alongside the grim discovery of a body in the water.
