A team of highly skilled volunteer divers found and removed the body from inside the cabin of the 34-foot fishing vessel “Sudden Impact” around 7 a.m. Sunday, according to the Department of Marine Resources. The body of the second fisherman has not been found. Chester “Chet” Barrett and his son Aaron, commercial scallop fishermen from South Addison, were reported missing Jan. 18 by a family member when they didn’t return from a trip that began at Cobscook Bay State Park. Officials have not identified the body found Sunday, but an online update for the family said that they believe it was Chet Barrett.
