Levi says the search team used an underwater camera to locate the boat and was able to see its name written on the side of the hull.

The Tyhawk sank on April 3 with five men aboard.

Four fishermen were pulled from the water, but one of them was declared dead shortly after. The search continues for the boat’s captain, Craig Sock.

Levi says the search team included Elsipogtog Chief Arren Sock and fishermen from the community.
