A Coast Guard search for survivors was suspended after the commercial fishing boat Lily Jean sank Friday off the Massachusetts coast with seven people aboard, including an NOAA observer.

Search and rescue mission coordinators, on-scene commanders and the Coast Guard determined on Saturday all reasonable search efforts for the missing crewmembers had been exhausted. She has covered major national crises, including the L.A. wildfires, Potomac and Hudson River aviation disasters, Boulder terror attack, and Texas Hill Country floods.
"The decision to suspend the search was incredibly difficult," Capt. Jamie Frederick, commander of Coast Guard Sector Boston, wrote in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family members and friends of the lost crew of the Lilly Jean, and with the entire Gloucester community during this heartbreaking time."
