The nation's oldest seaport marked a "very difficult benchmark" Monday as the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the names of the seven people presumed dead in the sinking of the Lily Jean, a Gloucester-based fishing boat. State Sen. Bruce Tarr struggled to keep his composure as he recited the names of the fallen: Captain Accursio "Gus" Sanfilippo, crew members Paul Beal Sr., Paul Beal Jr., John Rousanidis, Freeman Short, and Sean Therrien, and NOAA fisheries observer Jada Samitt.
