COBSCOOK BAY, Maine—An official with the Maine Department of Marine Resources says finding the wreckage of a fishing boat that sank last March could help determine why seven fisherman and two vessels have been lost in the area in the last year.

On Monday divers from the Maine State Police, the Marine Patrol and Marine Resources found the hull of what they believe is the fishing vessel All American.

The Bangor Daily News says the boat was found upside down at the bottom of Cobscott Bay.

The All American sank on March 25. The body of one crew member was found the same day. The other remains missing.

Marine Resources Lt. Alan Talbot says initial attempts to raise the hull of the All American were unsuccessful.
