Charles Glendon Jones, 46, was among six crewmen lost when the 110-foot crab vessel F/V Destination sank in the Bering Sea on February 11, 2017. The boat had left Dutch Harbor for St. Paul Island to deliver bait before the snow crab season. At about 6:15 a.m. a shipboard emergency position-indicating radio beacon alerted the U.S. Coast Guard; no mayday call was made.

An extensive three-day, nearly 6,000-square-mile search recovered a life ring with the vessel’s name, the EPIRB, and an oil sheen, but no survivors. The crew included Captain Jeff Hathaway, Kai Hamik, Lawrence Larry O'Grady, Darrik Seibold, Raymond Vincler, and Jones. Wreckage was located on the seafloor in July 2017 in about 250 feet of water, and the men were declared legally dead though their bodies were never recovered.

Investigators concluded the captain chose to continue into heavy freezing spray without assuring sufficient vessel stability; massive ice accumulation, likely hundreds of thousands of pounds, and a probable overload of crab pots were cited as contributing factors.
