Daniel Scott Tullar was 26 when he went missing from Kodiak, Alaska, in late winter 1989. On March 3 he was aboard the 108-foot steel longliner Ocean Hope II as it navigated heavy weather in the Shelikof Strait while attempting to reach shelter in Portage Bay. The last contact from the vessel was the night of March 2 as the crew headed for refuge.

The Ocean Hope II and all aboard vanished; an extensive search recovered only a single life ring. Tullar was declared missing along with skipper Jack White, 33, Dennis Frye, 26, and Michael Wheeler, 27. The men are presumed to have perished in a boating accident, but with no survivors and minimal wreckage the precise events in the vessel’s final hours remain unknown.

If anyone aboard or who knew the Ocean Hope II has information about that voyage or the crew, please come forward.
