The Globe and Mail:

When fishing guide Lance Desilets got to the site where the Tofino whale-watching boat sank, he was shocked by what he saw.

The Leviathan II, a 20-metre-long vessel used by Jamie’s Whaling Station and Adventure Centres to take tourists on nature cruises around Clayoquot Sound, was upside down, partially resting on the bottom – and the surface of the water was covered with floating, personal debris.

“There were purses, jackets, all kinds of stuff on the water … it’s terrible. I’m beside myself,” he said.

Vancouver Sun:

As many as 12 people remain unaccounted for as of Sunday night.

Search efforts are ongoing.
