Search on for missing fisherman

A search is underway off southern Nova Scotia for a 54-year-old fisherman who went missing from the fishing vessel 'Miss Janet', which was sailing from Shelburne to Saulnierville, N.S. on Oct 14, 2021, about 4 a.m. AT about 27 kilometres off the coast of Yarmouth, N.S. There were initially four people on board the vessel on Oct 13. Three of them went to sleep, leaving the captain in the wheelhouse. When one of them woke up at about 3:30 a.m., the captain was no longer in the wheelhouse. They searched the boat, but he wasn't on board. The crew immediately made a distress call. The Canadian Coast Guard Ship 'Clarks Harbour', the 'Corporal Teather', a Cormorant helicopter, a Hercules airplane and a PAL aircraft — a private airplane on contract with the military — were dispatched to the area. An additional coast guard vessel, CCGS 'Sir William Alexander', joined the search in the early afternoon. Fog had affected the visibility of the aircraft searching for the man, but the Coast Guard ships were continuing to search along with several commercial vessels. The 'Corporal Teather' was closest to the vessel, and when it arrived, members of the crew boarded the fishing vessel to pilot it back to shore, where it docked around 5 a.m.
