Search continues for 5 fishermen in Bay of Fundy after 1 found dead

December 16, 2020 — Searchers found the body of a crew member from a scallop vessel that went missing in the Bay of Fundy off the coast of southwestern Nova Scotia Tuesday, as teams combed the air and shores for five other missing men.

The Maritime Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre (JRCC) announced the news in a tweet late Tuesday.

“Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to the family,” the JRCC tweet said. It’s unclear when the body was found or where. Next of kin have been notified.

The emergency beacon was activated for the missing vessel, Chief William Saulis, Tuesday morning. The JRCC said the emergency signal came in at 5:51 a.m. AT near Delaps Cove, N.S.

A Cormorant helicopter and a Hercules aircraft from CFB Greenwood and three coast guard ships were dispatched to help with the search, which is being hampered by bad weather.

A CP-140 Aurora Maritime Patrol Aircraft from Greenwood also joined the search Tuesday evening.
