On Dec. 8, the ship was sailing from Nova Scotia to Grenada when a large wave tossed crew member Laura Gainey from the Picton Castle 475 miles off Cape Cod. After a three-day search, air and sea crews were unable to find Gainey, the daughter of Canadian Hockey great Bob Gainey. (AP Photo/Harold Quash)ST.

The daughter of Bob Gainey, the hockey great and general manger of the Montreal Canadiens, was a volunteer crew member on the Picton Castle. She was wearing protective clothing but no lifejacket on the night of Dec. 8 when she went overboard about 475 miles off Cape Cod.

"She had been ordered to go below and moments later, the incident happened," captain Daniel Moreland told The Associated Press.
