<h2>The Graveyard of the Atlantic Welcomes One More Mariner as Sailboat Washes Ashore</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">FRISCO, N.C. – The infamous ‘Graveyard of the Atlantic’ earned its name by churning all manner of ships in the rough seas off Cape Hatteras and sending many of those who passed do their demise.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now another seafarer is missing and likely will never be found as Coast Guard reports units are searching for a man whose sailboat was discovered aground near Cape Hatteras, Monday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Missing is Richard Tomlinson, 82, of Clearwater, Florida. Tomlinson was reportedly sailing from Clearwater to Maine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Elizabeth City and the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Rollin Fritch are currently searching for Tomlinson.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Anyone with any information related to the search, are asked to contact the Coast Guard Command Center personnel at (757) 398-6390.</span></p>
