Mack Sturgill, 42 and known as Red, was last seen in Frenchman’s Bay, Maine, on March 25, 1971. He was described as about 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 198 pounds, with red or auburn hair (balding), blue eyes, and multiple tattoos on both arms and fingers.

The disappearance occurred during a clamming trip. A six-person boat left Hancock Point at about 2:00 p.m. for Stave Island, gathered about 12 bushels of clams, and began the return. Accounts say the boat’s motor became tangled in an old lobster-trap rope, stopped, the wake came over the stern, the boat filled with water and overturned, throwing everyone into the ocean. The case remains listed as a missing person with NamUs (MP39512); the Maine Marine Patrol - Division II is identified as the investigating agency.

Did anyone who knew Mack or was in coastal Hancock County at the time have information about the trip or its aftermath?
