A commercial fishing vessel overturned and sunk off Cape Cod on Thursday, leading to one person being pulled from the water and second crew member still missing, U.S. Coast Guard officials said.
The person who was recovered was “transported to higher medical care,” Coast Guard spokesperson Keira Shantry said. They did not provide a name nor updates about the two people on the boat.
The accident comes just over a month after the Lily Jean sank off Gloucester, killing all seven aboard. The 72-foot (22-meter) vessel Lily Jean was returning to port early Jan. 30 to repair fishing gear when it sank in frigid Atlantic waters off the historic fishing port of Gloucester.
“I’m heartbroken by the news that the fishing vessel Yankee Rose was found capsized, and my prayers are with the loved ones of the crew, first responders and our entire fishing community during this incredibly difficult time,” Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said in statement.
