Fishermen off Massachusetts die after ‘tragic capsizing’ of Yankee Rose
This comes after the loss of the Lily Jean off Gloucester 
Fishermen off the Cape have reportedly died after the “tragic capsizing” of the fishing vessel Yankee Rose.
Two fishermen were onboard the boat, which was found capsized off Provincetown on Thursday. The vessel is based out of New Bedford.
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic capsizing of a fishing vessel off Race Point earlier today,” Provincetown Town Manager Alex Morse posted. “Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those on board, as well as with the Coast Guard, Environmental Police, State Police, and Provincetown first responders who responded so quickly in the search and rescue efforts.”
Morse noted that the town has a “long and proud maritime history, and fishing has always been a central part of our community’s identity.”
“The fishing community is a close-knit one, where the dangers of the sea are well understood and deeply respected,” he added. “We know the loss of these fellow fishermen will no doubt be deeply felt by many here who share that bond. On behalf of the Town of Provincetown, we extend our deepest condolences to the families of those lost, to the New Bedford fishing community, and to the broader fishing community in Provincetown and beyond during this incredibly difficult time.”

This deadly boating incident comes after the Lily Jean went missing off Gloucester with seven onboard earlier this winter.
“I’m heartbroken by the news that the fishing vessel Yankee Rose was found capsized, and my prayers are with the loved ones of the crew, first responders and our entire fishing community during this incredibly difficult time,” Gov. Maura Healey said.
“This is another devastating reminder of the dangers that come with life at sea and another tragedy for Massachusetts’ fishing industry and the families who make their living on the water, especially so soon after the loss of the Lily Jean in Gloucester,” the governor added. “Fishing has defined the identity of coastal communities across the northeast for generations, bringing both the pride and the heartbreak that come with this work. Every time a vessel leaves the harbor, families understand the risks that come with this work, and moments like this are felt deeply across the entire industry.
“I’m grateful to the U.S. Coast Guard, the Massachusetts Environmental Police and all local first responders who jumped into action and continue their search efforts,” she said. “We are keeping everyone involved in our thoughts and continue to monitor the situation closely.”
