Early in the morning of November 23, 2020, the US Coast Guard responded to an EPIRB signal from the fishing vessel EMMY ROSE, former SASHA LEE, from a location approximately 20 miles northeast of Provincetown, Massachusetts. Responding assets have, as of mid-day, found debris and an empty life raft, but no sign of the 4 crew members reported to have been onboard. Weather at the time was 30 know winds and 6-to-8 foot seas.

Pictured as the SASHA LEE, moored at New Bedford, Massachusetts. At the time she was owned by Carlos Rafael, that port's notorious "Codfather," who has since had his fishing empire dismantled following a federal criminal investigation.
