Coast Guard halts search after Gloucester fishing vessel sinks off Cape Ann
TL;DR
The US Coast Guard suspended the search for seven crew aboard the 72-foot Lily Jean after it sank about 25 miles off Cape Ann, Massachusetts, with debris and a body found. A 24-hour, 1,000-square-mile search using aircraft, cutters, and small boats yielded no survivors, and officials said all reasonable efforts have been exhausted; there was no mayday call as the vessel was returning to Gloucester, the nation’s oldest fishing port.
