The bodies of two missing passengers from a shrimping boat that sank on May 21 were recovered, the Everett Police Department confirmed.

The Everett Police Marine Unit first found the 26-foot shrimping boat before finding the body of its owner, a man in his 60s, and a coworker of his, a woman in her 40s. Seattle Police Harbor Patrol, Pierce County Marine Operations, and the nonprofit Innerspace Exploration Team assisted in the search.

Four people were aboard the boat when it set sail on May 21. One man in his 50s is the lone survivor, as of this reporting, after he was rescued by another boater, according to Natalie Given, the public information officer for the Everett Police Department.

鈥淧eople were just out recreationally shrimping, and the person reported that the boat started taking on water,鈥 Given told 成人X站 Newsradio. 鈥淏ut as to what specifically caused this, that鈥檚 still under investigation.鈥

The boat was found upside down approximately 165 feet below the water’s surface. The Everett Police Department stated it started receiving calls about a ship sinking approximately 200 feet from the shore in Possession Sound northeast of Mukilteo.

The son of the boat’s owner, a man in his 20s, remains missing. The search for the missing individuals included a helicopter, rescue boats, drones, fire rescue swimmers, and land-based teams.

According to Richard Braun with the Everett Steelhead & Salmon Club, May 21 was a 鈥渞are and sporadic鈥 opportunity for people to shrimp in the area, with the next chance to do so not coming until June.

Washington聽requires all vessels to have U.S. Coast Guard-approved Type I, II, or III life jackets on board for each passenger.
