He was a pleasure to work with and totally amazed the staff at Cape Ann TV with his video skills! Henry Cooper was the CATV staff person who helped Zack with the filming- the editing was all Zack.”

Posted on by Nichole S.

We should be proud of our Rockport Harbormasters who helped respond to this tragic situation last night.  I will update with more information as it becomes available.

From wcvb.com

The body of a woman who fell off a cruise ship off Cape Ann Friday night has been recovered, according to the United States Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard said it received word of a woman falling overboard from the cruise ship Seabourn Quest about 10 miles off the coast around 7 p.m.

Several search and rescue teams responded and searched the area.

Around 8:30 p.m., the Rockport Harbormaster, with emergency medical service personnel on board, recovered the woman’s body.
