Arans Enrique Serramia was 56 when he fell from the fishing vessel Prinsengracht into the Lynn Canal near Haines, Alaska, on May 16, 1991. He was working in Alaskan waters and was last seen wearing white overalls and a yellow jacket near the Katzhein River.

A search was conducted but Serramia was not located, and with no sign recovered from the water he is presumed deceased. The Alaska State Troopers carried out the official investigation into his disappearance. The Lynn Canal’s cold temperatures and strong currents were factors noted in the circumstances of the incident.

Anyone who worked on the Prinsengracht or was in the Haines fishing community in May 1991 and has information about Serramia’s last hours or the response that day is asked to come forward.
