A 47-foot vessel named The Great White overturned around 4 p.m. off Salisbury Beach, which is closed to swimming because of dangerous rip currents. The U.S. Coast Guard, a local harbormaster, and state troopers attempted to rescue the two people aboard. One person was rescued and transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A man in his 50s remains missing. The Coast Guard had good communication with both people aboard but contact was lost shortly afterward; both men were wearing life jackets. Rescue and recovery efforts were paused around 7:20 p.m. due to adverse weather, and a broken-off piece of the boat was later seen floating in the Merrimack River.
