Alcatraz Boat Tragedy Ends Search | Charleston News
Description
The Coast Guard has called off the search for missing people after a boat capsized near Alcatraz Island amid rough seas and five-foot swells, killing at least one person and a dog aboard — victims of a sudden wave or water ingress during what was likely a memorial service. Rescuers spotted steam-like vapor, mistook it for smoke, and found no fire. Though the search is suspended, the vessel’s location is known, though depth remains unknown. Three others were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The Coast Guard thanks partner agencies and local boaters who helped save 20 others in distress — and extends deepest sympathies to grieving families.
