Ships and rescuers have been called off their search for two sailors after their bodies were found off the east coast of England after their fishing boat sank on Aug 25, 2018. The helicopter located the bodies of the missing crew near the sunken fishing vessel wreckage. A search and rescue helicopter from Humberside, RNLI lifeboats from Gorleston, an independent lifeboat from Caister and other vessels were involved in the search. All units have now stood down. Three other fishermen were rescued alive from a life raft by the 'Pacific Ürincess'. The crew of the 'Pacific Princess' lowered a ladder to the men after the captain responded to a distress flare in the North Sea, about 25 miles off the Norfolk coast. The captain made an announcement about the life raft at around 6.30 p.m., and soon after the three men climbed up the side of the ship. At one point, one of the men fell into the water as he tried to scale the ladder and had to be pulled back into the emergency inflatable before trying again. The captain initially had announced the ship was just going to float next to the liferaft so they were blocked from the wind until the Coastguard arrived, but then they were able to get close enough that they were able to climb up our ship. After two hours of continuing to search, the cruise ship continued to Dover and the Coastguard remained, co-ordinating the hunt.
