07-27-12 SEWARD, AK Search ends for man after boat capsizes adn.com 
(07-29-12) A man disappeared in the water off Seward late Fri. (07-27) when a small boat carrying him and 2 others flipped, according to the local fire chief. Rescuers plucked 2 of the men from Resurrection Bay, but the 3rd was not recovered and the official search has been called off, according to the USCG. The names of the men have not been released. It was still unclear late Sat. (07-28) what type of boat capsized or how big it was, according to the CG. After hearing yelling coming from the water off Fourth of July Beach, someone called 911 about 8 p.m. and fire fighters headed to the area, said Seward Fire Chief. They soon realized the voices were farther N., more like ¼ mi. offshore in Resurrection Bay. The FD launched its boat, and 2 Good Samaritan vessels, joined the rescue effort, The Maverick and the Orion. The FD boat and the Maverick recovered one person each while those aboard the Orion looked for the 3rd man overboard. After the Maverick delivered its man to an ambulance, the FD boat did the same. The boat was vertical in the water amid a debris field that included camping gear and food, and the survivors said their companion was last seen clinging to a cooler of some kind. Only one of the rescued men was wearing a lifejacket. 

The boat was described as a 16ft fiberglass tri-hull. The owner could not provide the information needed to obtain the vessels make, model, HIN or state registration. It was a "recent" purchase and owner claims bill-of-sale was on the boat which remains unrecovered.
