<h3>From the Boston Herald</h3>
<h2><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Lawsuit charged ship was unseaworthy one month before sinking</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">NEW BEDFORD — Less than one month before the Misty Blue sank in the frigid waters of the Atlantic, a Fairhaven fisherman filed a $1.5 million lawsuit charging he was seriously injured in September as a result of the captain and crew&#8217;s negligence and the commercial vessel&#8217;s &#8220;unseaworthiness.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The civil action was brought against the Misty Blue and its owner, New Jersey-based Sea Harvest Inc., on Nov. 8 in U.S. District Court in South Boston. The case has since been assigned to a judge and summons have been issued, court records show.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chad Brayton, the vessel manager for Atlantic Capes Fisheries, said at a press conference today there had been no prior problems with the Misty Blue.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">He told a Herald reporter he would &#8220;Absolutely not&#8221; comment on the lawsuit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Danny Cohen, the owner of the Misty Blue, said the injury alleged in the lawsuit happened at the dock, adding &#8220;there was no issue of unseaworthiness, they had not moved, they were not underway.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Seaman Matthew Lyons alleges in the complaint that on Sept. 15, &#8220;as a result of the negligence of the captain/crew of the vessel,&#8221; he was &#8220;seriously injured while serving as a member of the crew.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The suit does not detail what happened to Lyons but claims he &#8220;suffered severe personal injuries, the pain of body and anguish of mind&#8221; that left him disabled.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">His injuries, Lyons claims, were &#8220;caused by an unseaworthy condition of said F/V Misty Blue.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Lyons&#8217; attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The 69-foot, steel-hulled ship, built in 1996 and formerly named the Harvester, according to U.S. Coast Guard records, was lost last night 10 miles off Nantucket when it rolled over while the crew was harvesting surf clams.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The missing crew members were identified today by Atlantic Cape Fisheries as Michael Roberts, 44, and Jonathan Saraiva, 32. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Two other men on board the Misty Blue were rescued by a private fishing vessel in the area. <a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/news/local_coverage/2017/12/lawsuit_charged_ship_was_unseaworthy_one_month_before_sinking">MORE</a></span></p>
