ROCKLAND, Maine — November 2, 2014 — The search for two people who were aboard a fishing boat that sank on Saturday afternoon ended Sunday, according to a statement from the Coast Guard.
One person who had been aboard the vessel, called No Limits, was found alive in a life raft by a Coast Guard helicopter Saturday evening. He was rescued and taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland.
The Coast Guard had determined that there were two other people on board when the ship went down, but they had not been found as of Sunday afternoon when the search stopped.
“Whenever our fellow mariners remain missing, especially after an extensive search, it has a huge impact on all us in the local coastal community,” said Lt. Cdmr. Timm Balunis, the search and rescue coordinator at Sector Northern New England in Portland.
“We ask the community to keep the missing crew and their families in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time,” he said.
