Boat owner Jose Teixeira says the vessel had been fishing for silver hake before the capsizing, adding that he didn’t yet know why the boat had turned over
Two fishermen who were pulled from the North Atlantic after a vessel capsized off Halifax have died, while two other crew members rescued have been released from hospital.
“We’ve lost two good men to an unfortunate accident,” Teixeira said, adding that one of the two dead was the captain and the other was a deckhand. He declined to provide their names. Rescue efforts were launched after a signal from an emergency beacon was picked up around 10 p.m. Thursday originating about 18 kilometres southeast of Sambro, N.S. Two coast guard cutters responded to the emergency.
In an e-mailed statement, Teixeira extended his condolences to the families and loved ones of the fishermen who lost their lives. “This devastating loss has profoundly affected our community, and our thoughts and prayers are with those impacted during this incredibly difficult time,” he said.
