More debris believed to be from a missing scallop dragger has been recovered in the Bay of Fundy.
A pair of fishing vessels found a life raft capsule and life preserver on Saturday evening. Both were marked with “RLJ,” which suggests they came from the dragger.
The RLJ has been missing since September 10.
RCMP say the life raft capsule appears to be intact and it’s believed the raft is still inside.
They were found within the primary search area, and RCMP swept the area again yesterday.
Four crewmen were aboard the RLJ.
The formal search was called off on September 14 and the case handed over to the Mounties.
