SAN FRANCISCO, April 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Coast Guard said Sunday it had given up the search for a 52-year-old man presumed dead after a tugboat capsized off Ocean Beach in San Francisco.
The missing San Anselmo man was aboard the 43-foot tugboat "Richardson's Bay" with another man Saturday afternoon when the accident occurred, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The second man, 53, was rescued and hospitalized for shock and mild hypothermia, the newspaper said. Neither man's name had been released.
The men had been traveling to retrieve a lost skiff and authorities received a mayday call about 2 p.m., the Coast Guard said.
The two men abandoned their boat. The man who was rescued had a life ring while the missing man had been with an inflatable boat that was found later washed up on shore along with a life jacket.
