Coast Guard searching for survivors after commercial fishing boat sinks off Massachusetts; 1 body recovered

The U.S. Coast Guard is frantically searching Massachusetts waters for survivors after a commercial fishing boat with seven people on board, including a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) observer, sank Friday 25 miles off the coast of Cape Ann.

Coast Guard watchstanders received an emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) alert at about 6:50 a.m. local time, registered to the 72-foot commercial fishing vessel Lily Jean.

USCG crews attempted to contact the boat, and with no response, issued an urgent marine information broadcast (UMIB), according to officials.

USCG Northeast District launched a MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Cape Cod and a small boat crew from Station Gloucester to search the area.
