Search Ends for Survivors After Fishing Vessel Sank Off Cape Cod, Killing 2

The Coast Guard suspended the search after 21 hours following the capsizing of the Yankee Rose, a New Bedford-based fishing vessel with two crew aboard.

  • Authorities suspended the search Friday after 21 hours, with one person recovered later confirmed dead, and a second still missing, the Coast Guard said.
  • The overturned Yankee Rose was reported about three nautical miles northeast of Race Point, Provincetown, and Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England crews arrived minutes after notification just before noon Thursday.
  • The vessel had a recent onboard carbon monoxide response last week when two people found unconscious and six first responders and a harbormaster were sent to hospital evaluations and discharged.
  • Officials expressed condolences and confirmed an investigation is underway as the Coast Guard and Massachusetts Environmental Police probe the Yankee Rose sinking, with the Coast Guard saying all resources were leveraged despite adverse conditions.
  • The episode adds to concerns in a close-knit fishing community where the cause remains unclear, and questions are referred to the Cape & Islands District Attorney's Office.
