A commercial salvage team from Seattle is on scene developing a plan to recover the 'Captrain Raleight' from a water depth of 40 feet near the bar at the entrance to Grays Harbor, after the Coast Guard suspended a search for its missing captain, who was last seen inside the ship. The Coast Guard immediately issued an “Urgent Marine Information Broadcast” and actively searched for the captain for several hours, but called off the search at 8:40 p.m. Rescuers transported the three crew members to Station Grays Harbor for evaluation by EMS .On May 10, a dredging ship operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also arrived to help locate the sunken ship. At around 11:45 a.m., they pinpointed the location of the wreck. A U.S. Navy dive team brought in by Navy helicopter from Air Station Whidbey Island was also deployed to the area of the sunken vessel. Divers were unable to access the wreck site until around 6 p.m. They attempted to approach the vessel, but failed to penetrate it due to debris, poor visibility, and strong currents. The Coast Guard was working with the Washington Department of Ecology to monitor pollution and mitigate impact to wildlife. So far there ws no damage from fuel to the shoreline around Westport and Grays Harbor.
