Investigators have determined the likely cause of the sinking of a fishing boat off the coast of Nantucket that claimed the lives of two local fishermen.
Massachusetts State Police have confirmed that they have found the bodies of the two fishermen lost at sea since the sinking of the Misty Blue back on December 4.
It’s been almost a week since the Misty Blue sunk off the coast of Nantucket, and there have still be no signs of the survival of 44-year-old Michael Roberts of Fairhaven, or 32-year-old Jonathan Saraiva of New Bedford.
New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell offered his thoughts on the Misty Blue sinking and its missing crew, sharing his own personal story of losing a loved one at sea.
The fishing boat that sank off of Nantucket earlier this week, leaving two crewmembers missing, is the subject of a lawsuit that was filed less than a month ago.
