Sean Kelly McWethy, 24, of Soldotna, Alaska, was one of six crewmen aboard the 94-foot crabber F/V St. George that left Dutch Harbor on January 2, 1992, for crab grounds in the Bering Sea. The last contact with the vessel came on January 4; when the St. George failed to make further contact an extensive search began. An empty life raft was found on January 5 about 152 nautical miles north of Unimak Pass, but no wreckage or any of the six crew were ever recovered.

McWethy was described as having black hair, brown eyes, a birthmark on his back and a scar on his lower lip. The other men lost were skipper David Parkes, Terry James, Brian Schouten (all from Blaine, Washington), Kevin Clark of Ferndale and George Dahl of Bellingham. The families and fishing community were left without closure.

The vessel is believed to lie somewhere on the Bering Sea floor but the exact circumstances of the disappearance remain unresolved. If anyone had contact with the St. George in early January 1992 or has information about its final movements, please share what is known.
