Steven Robert Poitras was a 27-year-old scallop fisherman who went missing on November 1, 1980, while at sea off Swans Island, Maine. He was aboard the vessel Sea Hunter with two other crew members when the boat began taking on water. A rescue operation saved the other two crew members, but Poitras was last seen submerging in the water and did not resurface.

Despite search efforts, his body was never recovered and he is classified as an endangered missing person. The Maine State Police and the Maine Marine Patrol handled the case, but the lack of remains or further evidence has left the circumstances of his disappearance unresolved. His family and community continue to remember him, and his case is still discussed in online forums by those hoping for new information.

Did anyone have contact with Steven or the Sea Hunter around November 1, 1980, or recall details about the vessel that could help clarify what happened?
