RCMP continue careful recovery of sunken fishing charter in B.C. waters
RCMP and partner agencies are assessing recovery options as the vessel remains 150 metres below the surface and evidence in the investigation.
- The RCMP is planning a complex recovery operation for a sunken charter near Richmond, treating the vessel as evidence after the June 28, 2026, capsizing.
- Ten people were aboard when the boat went down in the Strait of Georgia, with four rescued and one dying later in hospital, leaving six presumed drowned.
- Mounties used an underwater drone to locate the charter 150 metres below the surface, though the initial scan did not reveal any victims inside the wreck.
- Witness accounts suggest more people were in the water than the four recovered, making the upcoming recovery operation essential to confirm if remaining individuals are aboard.
- Captain Chen Ming complained to family about a broken side door on the charter vessel before it went down, a detail investigators are currently assessing.
