captron Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 We lost one of the Captains on our dock yesterday. Capt. John of the clam boat Silver Fox dove into the water to save a mate who had fallen overboard 2 miles SE of Nantucket. He was able to reach the mate and hold on to him but by the time they were both pulled from the water, John had suffered a fatal heart attack. The mate survived. Thank God for our unsung heroes.

Boss Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 What a true test of a man, a leader and captain. It is hard to honor such a person, that with out fear they will go out to help another man. RIP Captain John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoom Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Sad to hear of the loss of your friend. I was raised on the water and have experienced a similar loss. My Pops was a boat captain on the Chesapeake Bay. Prayers for the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
