Coast Guard hearing in Boston on ship sinking

BOSTON —

The Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board are holding a hearing in Boston on the sinking of a trawler in the Bering Sea.

The hearing Wednesday will take testimony from experts on propeller and engineering systems on board the Alaska Ranger.

The Seattle-based ship flooded through the rudder room and went down March 23, taking five lives. The Coast Guard and a nearby ship rescued 42 members of the crew.

Earlier sessions of the board of inquiry have been held in Dutch Harbor, Anchorage and Seattle.
