Divers resume search for missing fisherman
Divers have today resumed their search for the body of the missing Ardglass fisherman Connor Bogues.
Yesterday, poor weather conditions halted the search for the 26-year-old, who has been missing since the fishing trawler he was working on, sank close to Ardglass Harbour last Thursday.
Rescue services and volunteers resumed their search of the County Down coastline this morning, in an attempt to find the Ballynahinch man's remains.
Marine accident investigators have arrived to conduct an inquiry into the sinking of the Greenhill.
On Sunday, civilian divers recovered the body of 22-year-old crewmember, Donall Gibson, after they continued to look for the men following the end of the official search on Friday.
The body of the deceased was found at around 3pm, close to the wreck of the Greenhill and fishing crews from other Ardglass boats helped to bring him ashore.
His funeral is to be held tomorrow [Wednesday].
There were three men on the trawler when it went down on Thursday, however, the captain was rescued by an RNLI lifeboat, and taken to hospital where he was treated for hypothermia.
