The hard hat of missing Seacor Power crewmember Dylan Daspit washed up and was discovered by a lifeguard on the beach along the Texas coast, confirmed U.S. Coast Guard Public Affairs Officer Cory Mindenhall.
The hat washed up in Port Aransas, nearly 600 miles from the site of the Seacor Power capsizing, according to WGNO. Daspit, 30, is one of seven men still missing from the Seacor Power disaster, which occurred April 13.
The Seacor Power, a lift boat owned by Seacor Marine, capsized in April, several miles from Port Fourchon, Louisiana with 19 crewmen on board. According to KLFY, a microburst of severe weather caused the craft to capsize just after 4 p.m.

Friends and neighbors of the Acadiana men affected by the recent Seacor Power disaster have created a non-profit organization to support the impacted families.
Funding raised by Lift Acadiana will go directly to the families of the five men from the Acadiana area that were on the lift boat when it capsized on April 13.
One of the founding members of Lift Acadiana, Brook Kyzar Fremin, said she was inspired to create the non-profit by those asking how they could do their part.
