Three people have died, and one remains missing after a fishing boat capsized Sunday in frigid New York Harbor waters off Staten Island.
Coast Guard crews continued their search Monday for 52-year-old Vernon Glasford of the Bronx, who remains missing.
The 30-foot Grady White vessel began taking on water and sinking in the Ambrose Channel, the city’s main shipping lane, around noon, prompting a distress call. See photos here.
Rescuers tracked the caller’s cell phone, which was still pinging from underwater, to locate the sunken boat.
Of the five people pulled from the 38-degree waters, four were unconscious when rescued, with one now in critical condition and another listed as stable.
