Crew safe after fishing vessel sank
In the morning of June 9, 2015, at 6.30 a.m. the "Bear Cove Point" sank off Georges Bank. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada deployed a team of investigators to Riverport to assess the sunken fishing vessel. All four crew members were rescued by another fishing vessel and were brought back to Riverport on June 10. Within an hour there were other fishing vessels around and gave assistance and tried to transfer pumps but it wasn’t enough to salvage the vessel which foundered about 175 kilometres southwest of Yarmouth roughly 20 metres below the surface.
