Coast Guard identifies 7 victims on board Gloucester commercial fishing boat that sank off Massachusetts

The U.S. Coast Guard has released the names of seven people who died aboard a Gloucester, Massachusetts, commercial fishing boat that sank Friday in frigid waters 25 miles off Cape Ann.

Coast Guard watchstanders received an emergency position indicating a radio beacon (EPIRB) alert at about 6:50 a.m. Friday registered to the 72-foot commercial fishing vessel Lily Jean.

USCG crews attempted to contact the boat, and after getting no response, issued an urgent marine information broadcast (UMIB), according to officials.
