GARIBALDI (AP) - A 50-year-old fisherman died after his fishing boat wrecked on the south jetty of Tillamook Bay near Garibaldi on the Oregon Coast.

The unidentified man was part of a four-person crew on the 58-foot Starrigavan, U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Brian Fischer said.

The three other crew members had hypothermia but were in good condition early today, he said.

The boat was trying to cross the Tillamook bar about 9:30 p.m. Thursday. A witness saw it list heavily and its lights go out, Fischer said. A survivor reported the vessel was hit by three 20-foot waves and rolled three times, said Petty Officer Shawn Eggert.

The witness called 911, and at about the same time an emergency signal was transmitted from a safety device aboard the Starrigavan to the Coast Guard, Fischer said.

A helicopter lifted the injured fisherman from the boat. He was taken to the hospital, where he went into cardiac arrest and died.

Eggert said winds were reported at about 17 miles an hour, waves at 11 feet. “It's possible they were hit by rogue waves,” he said. At the time of the wreck, the bar was closed to recreational boaters and uninspected passenger vessels, but open to commercial fishing vessels.

The vessel was on the jetty rocks today, and an environmental team was to inspect it before any attempts are made to get it off, Eggert said.

According to Coast Guard records, the steel-hulled vessel is homeported in Garibaldi. It's owned by Fire Island Fisheries Corp. out of Kirkland, Wash.
