The Maine Marine Patrol, U.S. Coast Guard and other rescue agencies are searching for two missing fishermen and their 34-foot scallop boat off the coast near Lubec and South Addison. The fishermen — Chester Barrett and his son Aaron Barrett — were reported missing Saturday night by a family member when they didn’t return as expected. Barrett’s boat left Cobscook Bay State Park at approximately 5 a.m. Saturday. After encountering rough seas, the crew planned to seek refuge in Cutler but never arrived.
