Crews on Friday located the wreckage of a boat that sank in San Francisco Bay<\/a> earlier in the week, leaving two people dead and two others missing, police said.<\/p>\n

The 49-foot cabin cruiser named Volare was found by the San Francisco Police Department\u2019s Marine Unit in the vicinity of where the boat sank Tuesday afternoon, according to police.<\/p>\n

The Marine Unit had been utilizing boat-mounted sonar to locate the vessel since it sank, police said. Crews have since turned to using a remotely operated vehicle to assess the wreckage.<\/p>\n

Police will work with partner agencies to evaluate recovery options and determine if it’s safe and feasible to recover the wreckage, police said.<\/p>\n

The boat sank with 20 people aboard after being hit by a wave and capsizing. The group was on the boat to scatter the ashes of a loved one.<\/p>\n

One man, Clifford Boisa<\/a>, died immediately after being retrieved from the chilly water, and three people were listed as missing. On Thursday, police recovered the body of one of the missing people, identified as Tondra Madruga<\/a>, 58, also known as Tondra Miller.<\/p>\n

Ralph Boisa said his extended family and some close friends were on the boat Tuesday to celebrate the life of his daughter, who died over a decade ago. Madruga was a friend.<\/p>\n

The two people who remain missing<\/a> are Ralph Boisa\u2019s sister, Carol, and Clifford Boisa\u2019s wife, Jackie, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crews on Friday located the wreckage of a boat that sank in San Francisco Bay earlier in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-402810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=402810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
