On December 12, 1992, eight-year-old Seth Anthony Wade was aboard the fishing vessel Sea Castle when the boat overturned in Bucareli Bay in the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. The capsizing threw occupants into frigid Alaskan waters; four people survived and four were lost. Seth, who had brown hair and brown eyes, was one of the four who were never seen again. None of the four missing were wearing life vests or survival suits when the Sea Castle went down.

The U.S. Coast Guard conducted a search that recovered only pieces of wood from the vessel, some styrofoam, and a single jacket identified as belonging to one of the other missing children. No remains or other trace of Seth have been found, and authorities and family members concluded the missing were likely overcome by hypothermia and swept away by the bay’s currents. Does anyone have information about that charter trip or the Sea Castle that could help fill gaps in what happened that day?
