Antip Kuznetsov was 22 and working aboard the 40-foot gillnetter Yarmon when he fell overboard into Alaskan waters on August 1, 1988, near the Kalgin Islands. A crewmate, Petr Reutov, also went overboard during the same incident. The Yarmon reportedly sank in Cook Inlet about 12 miles west of Ninilchik that same day.

Antip was described as a White male, 6 feet tall, about 170 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing orange rain pants, a grey sweater, an embroidered shirt and black rubber boots, and wearing an aluminum crucifix on a string, a wedding band, a wristwatch and a sash or belt. An immediate search recovered only two floating hats. The Alaska State Troopers opened an investigation and both men are presumed to have died, though no bodies were recovered.

Does anyone have family knowledge, photos, or memories of Antip’s life or the Yarmon that could help fill in what happened that day?
