Daniel Arthur Soileau, 24, was aboard the 58-foot crab boat Nettie H that left King Cove on September 14, 1993, bound for Saint Paul Island. The crew of five included his brothers Peter, 35, the captain, and David, 29, plus Blake Grinstein, 35, and Julie Mereness, 23. The Nettie H was reported lost at sea about 10 miles north of Otter Point on Unimak Island in the Bering Sea and never arrived at its destination.

No distress signal was recorded and communication ceased; the vessel and four crew members, including Daniel and his brothers, were never found. A life raft from the Nettie H was recovered on May 5, 1994, near Cape Constantine and contained the remains of Julie Mereness, but no other wreckage or remains have been located. Daniel’s family remembers that he once predicted he would one day go missing at sea.

If anyone has information about the Nettie H, its voyage, or sightings in that area in September 1993, please share what is known.
