Bryson Fitch
Bryson was on board the Ethel May on 2/5 when the boat took on a large wave that left the crew to scramble on to a life raft. That large wave led the Ethel May to sink. Out of the 3 crew members, Bryson was the only one who didn't make it onto the life raft. The Coast Guard rescued the two crewmen in the life raft but had no luck finding Bryson.
