It’s been four months since the F/V Alaska Juris sank in the Bering Sea, and the U.S. Coast Guard is still trying to figure out why its engine room flooded, forcing 46 crew-members to abandon ship near Kiska Island.
Lt. Rven Garcia leads the investigations division for Coast Guard Sector Anchorage.
He said investigators have scheduled two weeks of public hearings in Seattle to determine why the 220-foot trawler went down.
