There is sadness and heartache Down East today.
Atlantic Canada has lost another fishing boat and–barring a miracle–the six-person crew that manned it.
As night fell Wednesday, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax announced it was suspending its air and sea search for the missing fishermen aboard the Chief William Saulis–last heard from near dawn on Tuesday when it sent up an emergency beacon in high seas and gusting winds.
“Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to the families, friends, and community of these men,” the JRCC said on Twitter.
The company where the fishers worked, Yarmouth Sea Products, confirmed their names: Aaron Cogswell, Leonard Gabriel, Dan Forbes, Michael Drake and Geno Francis, and Captain Charles Roberts.
