A small boat capsized in Aialik Bay, just south of Seward, on May 22, 2024, during deteriorating sea conditions. The 22-foot Hewes Craft had left Seward on May 21; at 5:30 a.m. on May 22 the vessel sent a distress call saying it was taking on water. Coast Guard air and marine units and the good Samaritan boat Skana responded, and the MH-60 Jayhawk from Kodiak located the overturned craft about 9:50 a.m. The Skana recovered one unresponsive person who was later identified as Hayden Green and pronounced dead. Three other occupants were initially unaccounted for: Joshua Green, Caleb Green, and an adult female.

Search teams covered roughly 95 square miles over nine hours but suspended active operations on May 23 due to extremely harsh weather—12-foot seas, 20–30 mph winds and limited visibility. Caleb Zachariah Green, born 1994, was a 29-year-old Anchorage native, Bartlett High School alumnus, two-time state heavyweight wrestling champion, college wrestler and a truck driver on the North Slope. Obituaries and memorial records confirm that Caleb, his father Joshua, and cousin Hayden perished when the vessel capsized while they were on a fishing trip.

Does anyone have memories of Caleb or the Green family, or information about that May 21–22 trip that could add context to what happened?
