Maritime authorities searched in vain yesterday to locate missing cook Gerald Fraser, who was on board the cargo vessel Miss Elissa, which capsized in the Demerara River on Friday afternoon.
The 67-year-old man was reported missing by his six colleagues, who were rescued soon after the vessel upturned in the river around 5 pm on Friday while returning to the Muneshwer’s Wharf on Water Street where it departed three hours earlier for neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago.
