The families of the crew, including 28 Americans, have been notified. The U.S. Coast Guard said at a news conference Monday morning that it will continue to search for survivors.
The El Faro was likely swallowed by the Category 4 hurricane at its last known location Thursday on the way to San Juan, Puerto Rico, said Coast Guard Captain Mike Fedor. The remnants of the ship are likely 15,000 feet underwater, he said.
On Sunday afternoon, a Coast Guard search vessel had found a 225-square-mile "debris field" of wood, cargo and other items. Fedor said crews also discovered human remains in a survival suit during their search for the ship, but they were "unidentifiable." ---
