February 9, 2018 — BARNEGAT LIGHT, N.J. — The Coast Guard is continuing its search for a fishing boat off the New Jersey shore, more than a day after it issued a distress signal.
Around 1:20 a.m. Thursday, the Coast Guard received an emergency position-indicating radio beacon for the 46-foot (14-meter) Queen Ann’s Revenge approximately 40 miles (64 kilometers) off the Barnegat Light coast. Fishermen also reported hearing a distress call on the radio.
A fishing boat helping in the search found possible debris several hours later.
The Coast Guard dispatched boats, a helicopter and an airplane to the scene.
