BOSTON — The Coast Guard is searching for the four-member crew of a Maine fishing boat that sank off the coast of Massachusetts early Monday.
The 82-foot Emmy Rose went down about 20 miles northeast of Provincetown, Massachusetts, the Coast Guard said in a tweet.
The Coast Guard got the emergency alert around 1:30 a.m. and was on the scene by about 2:30 a.m., Petty Officer Ryan Noel said.
Two cutters and an aircraft are involved in the search, he said, which was being made more difficult by 6- to 8-foot seas and 35 mph (55 kph) winds.
The Emmy Rose is based in Portland.
