One found, one still missing after boat overturns off Cape Cod

One person has been recovered and another remains missing after a fishing boat capsized off Cape Cod Thursday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. 

The Coast Guard said it received an alert about the overturned vessel shortly before noon. The Yankee Rose had two people onboard when it capsized roughly three nautical miles northeast of Race Point in Provincetown, the agency said. 

Minutes later, local authorities and crews from the Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod arrived to search for the two people. They later recovered one unconscious person, who was rushed to “higher medical care,” the Coast Guard said.

The person’s condition was not immediately clear; the search for the second individual remains ongoing.

Just last week, the Yankee Rose was the focus of another emergency when two people onboard were hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning. Both were taken to a local hospital and later discharged. 

This is a developing story and will be updated.
