Search crews reported finding seven cold-water immersion suits and two strobe lights but no remnants of the boat or anyone onboard. The boat reportedly capsized near Couverden Point, Alaska, in the Icy Strait, according to the Coast Guard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The crew said they were evacuating onto an emergency life raft during their mayday call, according to Travis Magee, assistant public affairs officer for the Coast Guard. Emergency marine responders who answered the call attempted to get more information from the crew but got no response, Mr. Magee said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A nearby ferry vessel, AMHS Hubbard, heard the emergency call over a broadcast and arrived first to help. A helicopter and a boat were also deployed from the Coast Guard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe stand in sorrow and solidarity with the friends and family of the people we were not able to find over the past 24 hours,\u201d Chief Warrant Officer James Koon, a search and rescue mission coordinator at Coast Guard Sector Southeast Alaska, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There were six-foot seas, heavy snow and winds of up to 60 miles per hour when the boat was lost, officials said. Alaska was under winter weather warnings over the weekend, and some have been extended through Tuesday, according to the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NWSJuneau\/status\/1863463109714997683\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The search was called off for now \u201cpending the development of new information,\u201d the Coast Guard said in a statement.
