U.S. Coast Guard officials in Anchorage say five people aboard the seiner F/V O’Letta abandoned ship into a skiff on July 26 when their fishing vessel overturned while harvesting pink salmon at Orca Inlet, about five miles from Cordova.
None of the five crew members was injured.
The fishing vessel stayed afloat and efforts were underway on July 27 to salvage it, the Coast Guard said.
No further details were immediately available.
