About 2100 on November 5, 1987, the 115-foot-long U.S. fishing vessel UYAK II capsized and sank in the Gulf of Alaska about 60 nautical miles south of Kodiak, Alaska. The vessel's captain and one deckhand were rescued from one of the UYAK II's two liferafts by another fishing vessel. Despite an extensive search by U.S. Coast Guard aircraft and commercial fishing vessels, the UYAK II's other four crewmembers were not found and are presumed dead.
