- Details of Disappearance:
- In February 2017, a fishing boat named the *Destination*, captained by a man named Hathaway, left Dutch Harbor, Alaska, with five crew members. They were crabbing and had 10,000 pounds of bait on board.
On February 11th, around 6:00 am, the boat’s tracking system stopped working, and shortly after, its emergency beacon went off. The Coast Guard searched, finding only the emergency beacon and a life ring. After two and a half days, the search was called off, and the six men were declared lost at sea.
Investigations revealed the boat was likely swamped by icy spray, making it unstable and sink. The *Destination* also had serious design flaws that made it unsafe. The wreckage has since been found on the ocean floor, but the bodies of the captain and crew have never been recovered.
