BOSTON (AP) — A fishing boat rolled over and sank off the coast of Cape Cod, killing at least two crew members and leaving a third man missing.
The New Bedford-based Atlanta foundered and sank late Saturday night 27 miles south of Chatham after setting off its emergency beacon, according to Coast Guard spokeswoman Linda O'Brien.
The Coast Guard notified other fishing crews in the area, one of which spotted a flare, and followed it to a life raft with four live crew members aboard. A fifth crew member on the raft, Kenneth Toolis, had died, O'Brien said.
