Edward Cantrell, 26, was the captain of the 30-foot longline cod boat F/V Northern Aurora when the vessel encountered severe icing in Resurrection Bay in February 1999. Heavy ice accumulation made the wooden boat unstable; the Northern Aurora capsized and washed ashore on Fox Island. One crewman, Neil Marolt, was rescued from the water; Cantrell was lost at sea and last seen when his vessel went down.

He was wearing a survival suit at the time. The exact circumstances of his final moments remain unknown.

Did anyone who worked in Seward or fished Resurrection Bay in 1999 have information about that trip or the Northern Aurora?
