Rescuers kept searching Wednesday for three people missing after a boat sank in cold, fast-moving waters of San Francisco Bay near Alcatraz during a memorial service. San Francisco Fire Chief Dean Crispen said one person was pulled from the water but later died, while 16 others were rescued Tuesday afternoon after the vessel took on water and capsized amid “rough seas.” A dog onboard also died. Search teams used thermal imaging, tide prediction and modeling, and by Tuesday evening crews were searching in the open ocean west of the Golden Gate Bridge. The 50-foot pleasure craft, cabin-and-upper-deck cruiser Volare, is registered out of Stockton and was reportedly initially associated with smoke, later determined to be steam. Swells reached up to 5 feet (1.5 meters), and the U.S. Coast Guard—leading the operation with an 87-foot cutter named Barracuda—had been searching nonstop, without deciding how long to continue before a recovery effort.
