Pavel A. Ivanov, 30, was swept overboard from the fishing vessel Sunrise on May 26, 1993, in heavy seas at the Copper River Flats in the Gulf of Alaska, about eighteen miles off Cordova. Powerful breakers carried him and another crew member into the water; the other crew member was rescued but Ivanov was never seen again despite an exhaustive search and rescue operation.

Ivanov was described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches, about 140 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes and a tattoo on his right arm. He was wearing a maroon jacket with a white collar, dark pants, a black wool stocking cap and a black watch when he went overboard. The Alaska State Troopers investigated and have kept his case file open.

The conditions that day were stormy and treacherous, and no trace of Ivanov was found. If anyone aboard the Sunrise or sailing near Cordova in late May 1993 remembers details that could help, please share information with the Alaska State Troopers.
