Five commercial fishermen lost at sea in the Gulf of Alaska are presumed dead.
According to Reuters, the crabbing vessel capsized and sank on New Year’s Eve.
Search-and-rescue operations were called off on Thursday amid rough weather, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The crew of 130-foot Scandies Rose, issued a distress call late Tuesday night.
Two men who escaped the capsized vessel in a life raft were rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter crew.
