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.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Nicole you are correct about harbor-masters, coast guard, public safety that was a fairly quick recovery 1 hour 30 minutes! These are always painful recoveries – but some closure with the recovery for family! Tragic situation and very painful for families and rescue public safety, community! This will also have an investigation also as most do!
I was on one of these recoveries in GA 1982 a Sgt then USAF. It was at Dykes Landing, Dykes Memorial Park, located on the Ocmulgee River 54 miles long it was a boating accident drowning! I was stationed Robins AFB Flat bed tractor trailer we drove at night and had to set up light all, very remote area recovered the male on the second day out. 😦 Dave (Prayers and thoughts)!
