Allan Fenton Young, 25, was last seen in June 2013 while working as a deckhand aboard the F/V Swift in Icy Strait, about 30 miles west of Juneau. A Chehalis, Washington resident, Young also used the names Arthur Eugene Davis and Alan Fenton Young. He was reported last seen near Excursion Inlet wearing a black sweatshirt, black Grunden rain pants and brown Xtratuf boots and was not wearing a personal flotation device when he went into the water.

The boat’s captain and Young’s uncle, 47-year-old Tim Lane, launched a skiff to attempt a rescue but also entered the water; Lane was later found on a nearby beach with mild hypothermia. The F/V Swift was discovered at anchor and unoccupied by another vessel, which alerted the Coast Guard. An extensive search covering more than 450 square miles around Porpoise Island used surface vessels, underwater cameras and volunteer canine teams, but Young was not found and the Coast Guard suspended active searching.

The reasons why Young went overboard remain unknown. If anyone knew Allan, his movements that day, or has information about the area around Excursion Inlet or Home Shore, please share what you know.
