Overview

  • Authorities recovered two bodies from the wreck of the F/V Seahorse and believe them to be its captain Shawn Arsenault, 64, and his girlfriend Felicia Daley, 54.
  • The vessel departed Orleans on June 8 for a clamming trip and had been fishing near Eastham’s Target Ship Wreck before its last cellphone ping on June 10 placed it off Chatham.
  • A GPS navigation unit marked “F/V Seahorse” washed ashore on June 11 after being found by a father and daughter on a local beach.
  • The 30-foot white boat, which featured a mermaid on the bow and “SEAHORSE” on the stern, was recently certified as seaworthy by a mechanic.
  • Investigators are probing reports that Captain Arsenault discarded electronic equipment overboard shortly after setting sail.
