March 28, 2022 — On Saturday, March 25, the U.S. Coast Guard conducted a search for the master of a 32-foot fishing vessel that sank that morning approximately 35 miles offshore from Florence.
Missing is Mike Morgan, age 68, of Newport.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector North Bend received a mayday call at approximately 12 a.m. Saturday from Morgan, the master of the white-and-black fishing vessel White Swan III. He reported that his vessel was sinking in the north end of the Heceta Banks fishing area. Morgan said that a female crew member was also aboard the vessel.
The 13th Coast Guard District Command Center received an emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) alert from the White Swan III.
Upon arrival at the scene of the EPIRB location, an MH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter crew from Air Facility Newport spotted a debris field and a life raft. An unresponsive female was also recovered and declared deceased. Her name has not yet been released.
According to a post on the White Swan III’s Facebook page, the search for Morgan was called off Saturday evening.
“The search for Mike was suspended last night after 24 hours,” read the post. “The Coast Guard did their best with foggy conditions, and I appreciate them more than I have ever.”
Mariners and the public are encouraged to contact the Sector North Bend Command Center at 541-756-9210 if anyone has information in the effort to locate the missing master of the White Swan III.
