Fishing Vessel Eagle III Sinks at Entrance to Coos Bay

On January 19^th, a commercial fishing boat, named the Eagle III, sank at the entrance to Coos Bay after colliding with the north jetty.  The 40-foot crabbing boat, based out of Port Orford, Oregon, contained four members. The vessel’s captain is the only known survivor of the wreck, while the U.S. Coast Guard found the remains of one of its members, amongst a large debris field, and searched for the remaining two members.  Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs in America and we are proud to represent many of these very hard workers who routinely put their life on the line.
