‘We can have peace’: Town of Tignish reflects on tragedy after both bodies found

As family and friends prepare for the funerals of Glen DesRoches and Moe Getson, both who were missing after their boat capsized last Tuesday, the community of Tignish is reflecting on a week of tragedy, and how they plan to move forward. Mayor of Tignish, Allan McInnis, said it’s been a difficult week for the town, but that finally finding both men’s bodies is a relief for everyone. “Now we’ll do our mourning properly and then we can put everything to rest where we don’t have to constantly be thinking of our lost comrades,” McInnis said. >click to read<13:29

Body found believed to be one of the two missing Tignish, P.E.I. fishermen

The body of one of the two fishermen involved in a boating accident early last week has been found. The body was found around 7 a.m. Sunday wrapped in seaweed on the south side of the North Cape point by someone searching the shore. The coroner has taken possession of the body. A search was originally initiated the night of the accident, Tuesday, Sept. 18 and involved resources from RCMP, Ground Search and Rescue and community members in Prince County for Glen DesRoches, 57, the captain of the lobster fishing boat ‘the Kyla Anne’, and his longtime first mate, Maurice (Moe) Getson, 54, after their boat capsized on that afternoon.,, The identity of the body has not been officially released at this time. But according to multiple accounts on the scene rescuers believe it is the body of the ‘Kyla Anne’s’ captain, Glen DesRoches. >click to read<12:46

The Official Search ended, but there are boats on the water searching for missing P.E.I Fishermen

The official search on the water for two fishermen missing off North Cape, P.E.I., has ended, but boats from the area will be back on the water continuing their own search Thursday. The Kyla Anne capsized a few kilometres from shore Tuesday afternoon. One crew member made it back to shore, but Glen DesRoches and Maurice (Moe) Getson did not. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre called off its search, which involved coast guard vessels and helicopters, Wednesday evening. That search had continued for hours beyond any chance that the men would be found alive. >click to read<11:30
