Wreckage of F/V Mistress Found Near Block Island Wind Turbine After 7-Year Search

Green Oceans identified the wreckage of the F/V Mistress, a fishing boat that sank in January 2019, near a Block Island Wind Farm turbine. The discovery, located 92 feet underwater and 50 feet from turbine No. 1, potentially resolves a seven-year mystery involving the deaths of two fishermen. The organization confirmed the wreck through unique features like a custom net drum and is urging federal authorities to reopen the investigation to determine if a collision with the turbine caused the sinking.

Alaskan Teen Survives Three Days on Capsized Skiff in Bering Sea

A 15-year-old Alaskan boy survived nearly three days clinging to an overturned fishing skiff in the frigid Bering Sea before being rescued by a commercial vessel. The teen, identified as Derek Parker Aghnaanga, was the sole survivor of a three-person crew that departed St. Lawrence Island on Friday to fish for halibut. His older brother and a cousin died after the boat capsized. The Coast Guard launched a search after the vessel failed to return on Sunday, locating the boy on Monday. He was found approximately four miles east of St. Lawrence Island, exhibiting hypothermia symptoms, and was pulled to safety by the crew of the fishing vessel Northwest Explorer. The bodies of his two relatives were also recovered. The incident highlights the dangers of local subsistence fishing in remote Arctic waters, where families often rely on traditional practices to provide food for their communities.

Andrea Doria Wreck Crumbling Raises Stakes for Deep-Diving Explorers

The Andrea Doria wreck off Nantucket, once called the ‘Mount Everest’ of wreck diving, is deteriorating and breaking apart after seven decades on the Atlantic seabed, making dives increasingly dangerous. Despite its hazards and a history of fatalities, divers still flock to the site for its accessibility and potential artifacts, but experts warn that nets, debris, and the wreck’s sideways orientation complicate exploration, and ongoing decay could eventually prevent future dives.

Guyana ferry disaster triggers massive search and safety probe

A passenger ferry, MV Barima, sank off Guyana’s coast, prompting a massive search-and-rescue as authorities confirm two deaths and reveal that the passenger manifest was inaccurate, with 35 of 67 rescued so far listed. The captain and a crew member allegedly tested positive for cannabis, and they are in custody as a criminal investigation begins. The government expanded the search area, mobilizing coast guard, air support, private vessels, and volunteers, while pledging a full inquiry into maritime safety compliance and potential negligence.
