Lawrence ’Larry’ J. Tousignant, 40, vanished from his fishing vessel F/V Tonquin on October 13, 1991, while the boat was operating off Kodiak, Alaska. He was last seen on deck as the 86-foot halibut longliner encountered dangerous conditions and is believed to have capsized and sunk roughly 30 miles east of Sitkalidak Island, near Twoheaded Island.

Four other crew members were rescued, but Captain Tousignant was not found. He may have been wearing a Harley Davidson t-shirt, jeans, and a full survival suit when he disappeared. His body was never recovered and he is presumed lost at sea. The Alaska State Troopers have the case open, but without recovery of the vessel or the captain the exact sequence of events that led to the Tonquin overturning remains unclear.

Did anyone who sailed those waters in October 1991 or who knew Captain Tousignant ever hear details about what happened that day?
