The U.S. Coast Guard has called the search for a young fisherman who went missing on 21st July, off Mt. Desert Island, Maine.
As explained, the Coast Guard received a report of an overdue lobster boat.
A fisherman found the boat near Petit Manan Baem, about 12 nm to the east of Bar Harbor. There was no one on board.
As informed, the boat’s operator was an 18-year-old fisherman, Tylar Michaud, and his family told the Coast Guard that he had been working his lobster traps in the area where the boat was found. Cell phone data confirmed that he had been in the vicinity that morning.
The U.S. Coast Guard launched a search, assisted by the state’s coastal law enforcement agency, the Maine Marine Patrol. They were joined by search aircraft from the state forest service, good samaritan pilots, the Maine National Guard, and USCG Air Station Cape Cod. More than two dozen local fishermen also aided the effort.
