Missing Boaters | featured news

Three teenage boys set adrift for 50 days in a small boat in the South Pacific survived on coconuts, a seagull they managed to catch and by drinking rain and then sea water, rescuers said on Friday.

At least one person is dead and four missing after a fishing boat sank off the New Jersey coast, the Coast Guard said.

The Detroit Lions are retiring the No. 93 jersey for
the upcoming season in memory of defensive lineman Corey Smith, who disappeared
when a boat capsized off the Florida coast.

A doctor says it's a miracle that a man survived being in the cold Gulf water for nearly two days after the boat carrying him, two NFL players and another man capsized off the Florida coast.

One person is clinging to the wreckage, but it's not either of the two NFL players who were aboard the lost fishing boat. Rescuers have found one of the four missing boaters off Florida's Gulf Coast and he is "alive and talking," according to the St. Petersburg Times.

Two NFL players are among a group of boaters reported missing off Florida's Gulf Coast, an agent for one of the players said Sunday.
