Off the rugged coast of Sitka, Alaska, the sea claimed a charter fishing vessel on Sunday, leaving one person dead and four others unaccounted for in the cold waters near Kruzof Island. The Kingfisher Charters boat, built for the quiet pursuit of salmon and halibut, became instead the center of a multi-agency search that speaks to the ancient and unforgiving bargain struck between those who fish and the waters they fish upon. In a community whose identity is woven from the sea, the disaster carries a grief that extends beyond the individuals aboard.
