Glen Crowley, a 45-year-old from New Bedford, Massachusetts, was last seen on December 20, 2004, aboard the fishing vessel *Northern Edge*. The 75-foot scallop boat, with a crew of six, departed from New Bedford but faced disaster off the coast of Nantucket. At approximately 4:44 PM, the Coast Guard received an emergency beacon signal, followed by a mayday call reporting the vessel had overturned and was sinking.
Despite extensive search efforts, only one crew member, Pedro Furtado, survived by escaping onto a life raft. Crowley, along with four other crew members, was lost at sea, and his body was never recovered.
Crowley, who had spent 17 years as a fisherman, was known for his love of the sea. He was a father of three and had previously worked as a union carpenter before dedicating his life to commercial fishing. The tragic sinking of the *Northern Edge* remains a somber chapter in the maritime history of New Bedford, with the loss of five lives, including Crowley's, marking the end of the search on December 22, 2004.Last Seen: Dec 20, 2004
