The Coast Guard is searching for four crew members who were aboard a Portland-based fishing boat that sank early Monday morning off the coast of Massachusetts. The 82-foot fishing vessel sank about 20 miles northeast of Provincetown, Massachusetts, according to the Coast Guard. The First District Coast Guard Command Center in Boston received a notification at 1 a.m. Monday from the Emmy Rose’s emergency position indicating radio beacon, which is automatically activated when a vessel sinks or capsizes. Coast Guard crews discovered debris and an empty life raft in the area of the vessel’s last known position. There are 30-knot winds and seas of 6 to 8 feet in the area Monday morning.
