The capsized lift boat Seacor Power is seen seven miles off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico Sunday, April 18, 2021. The vessel capsized during a storm on Tuesday.
Officials have released little information about their continuous search in the murky seas surrounding the capsized Seacor Power lift boat some 8 miles off the coast since announcing divers found two bodies inside the ship Friday night. Part of one of those legs poked out of the water Sunday. A corner of the boat’s platform was above the surface with the orange-painted safety railing pointing back at the sea. Two boats were nearby, a large platform boat with equipment and a smaller boat tethered to the stricken vessel.are trying to get inside the boat, capsized where the sea is 50 to 55 feet deep. Rescuers in the air and the water have been searching an area the size of Rhode Island for the remaining nine missing crew members.
Michelli referred questions about the diving operation to New Jersey-based Donjon Marine Co., which was contracted by boat-owner Seacor Power to lead the underwater search. A spokesperson for the company referred questions back to Houston-based Seacor on Sunday morning, and a spokesperson said Seacor didn’t have a comment Sunday.
