The US Coast Guard is investigating the capsizing of the commercial fishing vessel Mary B II, which led to the deaths of three fishermen at the entrance of Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon, on January 8.

The three fishermen were inbound the Yaquina Bay Bar onboard the 42-foot vessel Mary B II when it capsized without warning. Two fishermen fell overboard into the stormy Pacific Ocean with reported waves of 14 to 16 feet with occasional waves of 20 feet.
