Condolences continue to pour in after two fishermen were pronounced dead following the sinking of a fishing vessel off the Baie Verte Peninsula. The tragedy has left families, friends and communities across Newfoundland and Labrador mourning the devastating loss.
Premier Tony Wakeham offered condolences to the families and loved ones of the two fishermen, calling their deaths an “unimaginable loss.” He said the tragedy is being felt not only across the Baie Verte Peninsula but throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, adding that his thoughts are also with the survivor and everyone affected as the community grieves.
Baie Verte RCMP had been asking the public to avoid the Harbour Round wharf at this time, as police and partners completed a marine operation in the area on Tuesday. NTV News will have more information as it becomes available.
