A Scots fisherman remains lost at sea nearly a year after failing to return from a trip on his creel boat.
Fraserburgh man, Joe Masson, didn't come home after taking his fishing vessel out on the morning of October 16, 2021. A report released by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) on the investigation says that the boat, Goodway, most likely capsized as the 72-year-old was attempting to free a snagged feet of creels, tragically resulting in the owner falling overboard.
Aberdeen Live report that a major search and rescue operation involving the RNLI, HM Coastguard and the MoD was launched to trace the pensioner. Despite finding Goodway’s upturned hull at 10.33pm that evening, close to rocks near Cairnbulg, the skipper Joe was sadly never found and is presumed dead.
