Edward F. Haynes was 40 and from Dillingham, Alaska, when he disappeared on April 2, 2001, after the fishing vessel Arctic Rose sank in the Bering Sea. The 92-foot trawler went down about 205 miles northwest of St. Paul Island while harvesting rock sole. The ship sank in waters about 428 feet deep after sending an emergency signal in the early morning hours.

A Coast Guard investigation examined severe weather—reported 45-knot winds and 24-foot waves—and safety issues aboard the vessel. The report concluded that a watertight door left open likely allowed waves to flood the ship rapidly. Investigators also noted significant structural changes had been made without a new stability analysis, and that some crew members were inexperienced or working under assumed names. Only the captain’s body was recovered; the families of the other 14 crew, including Haynes, were left without closure.

Did anyone who knew Edward or worked on the Arctic Rose ever share memories or details that might shed light on the voyage?
