HALIFAX --
As the Nova Scotia RCMP used a helicopter Friday to search for five fishermen whose scallop dragger sank in the Bay of Fundy this week, the mayor of a major fishing port said many residents are still in a state of shock.
The body of one fisherman was found Tuesday night, but the boat and the other crew members and captain have yet to be found.
"Right now, people are still numb," said Pam Mood, mayor of Yarmouth, which is famous for its large lobster fishing fleet.
"It's very, very raw. We are almost getting used to the fact that just when we get used to standing back up, we get punched in the face again."
