Survival suit found
Tuesday, January 09, 2007 | No comments posted.
A survival suit from the F/V Ash, which capsized on Dec. 16 near the mouth of the Rogue River, was located Saturday 200 miles north of where the accident occurred.
According to a Curry County Sheriff's Office press release, the U.S. Coast Guard located and recovered the suit near a beach at Neskowin Creek located between Lincoln City and Pacific City.
The Ash, a 43-foot fiberglass commercial crab boat, sank after it was struck by storm-generated waves, just out of the mouth of the Rogue River at Gold Beach, according to witnesses. On the vessel were four Port Orford fishermen: captain Rob Ashdown and crewmen Josh Northcutt, Mark Daniel Wagner and Louis Lobo. Searchers found only boat debris, survival suits and a life raft at the time of the sinking.
Two bodies have been recovered. The body of Wagner was recovered on Dec. 27 near Cape Blanco Lighthouse. Another body that has yet to be identified was recovered on Christmas Day in a cove about 5 miles north of Gold Beach - about 40 miles from where the boat sank.
