"Massachusetts stands with Gloucester, and we will continue to stand with the families in the difficult days ahead," Gov. Maura Healey and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll said Saturday.
The body of a crew member of a missing Gloucester-based scalloper was found in the Atlantic Ocean on Friday, along with an empty life raft and a small amount of debris, the US Coast Guard said. The emergency beacon on board the 72-foot FV Lily Jean activated around 6:50 a.m. Friday about 25 miles off the coast, the Coast Guard said in a statement.
