Destination presumed sunk
Dylan Hatfield says a number of factors probably contributed to a capsizing Saturday morning of the 98-foot crab boat Destination with six crewmen on board. Hatfield spent parts of seven seasons on the boat, and when he left, he was replaced by his brother, 36-year-old Darrik Seibold. Hatfield says the boat may have iced up from sea spray freezing in 20-degree temperatures. He says a pump may have failed in tanks that hold water and help stabilize the ship in rough water. I know we had a few members here from the show. My condolences to losing your bothers.

I know plenty of folks here love the show and think those guys are saints, but commercial captains take way too many risks trying to make $ and skip basic maintenance for no real reason other than to hit the bar instead of repair safety shit.
I am surprised this doesn't happen more often. Drowning has to be terrible. |

falling into a dark, cold ocean is right up there with the scariest shit I can think of. RIP to the crew.
I remember when I was younger, maybe 18-19 I was on a cruise ship and got up to take a leak in the night and looked out on our little balcony and my brother was standing on the railing peeing into the ocean. I slowly snuck up on him so i didnt scare him and then in one motion pulled him backwards as hard as I could. We were on like the 6-7th floor of the ship. He had slept walk out onto the deck and had no recollection of it the next day. Still haunts me |

My girlfriend's father is a fisherman out of Sand Point, and he had worked on that boat many times in the past, including this past fall.
We're so, so, so lucky that he wasn't on that boat this time. My thoughts are for the families left behind

The USCGC Dallas (same class as the Morganthau) was there at the time, and I was able to work with the ship supervisor on that vessel for a while. It was showing its age a bit. And yeah, WX there is something else. |

Spent 6.5 years USCG Helicopter air rescue in AK, Sitka first then Kodiak. The Bermuda Triangle has nothing on that place when it comes to missing boats & planes. I remember an odd one, the F/V Red Barron (as I recall the name) a crab boat out of Cold Bay (+/-) that had a crew of typical college kids but a seasoned Captain, this was about '84 or so. Rough weather near Kodiak, taking on water and the Captain had the crew abandon ship. The search was called off after about a week. A week or so after that the empty boat floated up Kodiak harbor. Within a week bodies started floating in. If they didn't get off the boat, they would have lived. Most we never found.

Many vessels have AIS (as a fishing vessel they should have a Class B AIS) and they will have an EPIRB (electronic position indicating radio beacon) as well. It's designed to break free in the event of the vessel sinking. The gcaptain link said that the USCG was alerted when they started receiving the info from the EPIRB. |

Commercial ships are required to carry EPIRBS but by the time a signal is sent, either by being manually activated or by floating free in the water, a search is mobilized, debris located... often the survival time in that temperature is long passed. That's assuming the batteries on the EPIRB are up to date, the hydrostatic release works, and it doesn't get tangled up in the mast of the ship and taken underwater where it can't send a signal. |

RIP skipper & crew
From what I read the possibiliity exisits that it took on freezing spray on the gear laden deck and rolled, all speculation but very possible, as there was no MAYDAY or other warning (just the EPIRB signal). Dangerous job in unforgiving conditions. eta: spelling |

I visited St. Paul island this summer, and my friend and I rolled up our pant legs and had our guide take a picture of us standing in the surf. It was July, and I could barely stand the cold for the time it took to snap a picture. |

I work in heart surgery and in some Special instances we cool the patient to 18* F and turn off the heart and lung machine for 30-45 minutes and the patients have little to no neurological issues post surgery. |
