Hurricane Ginny worsens seas as wrecked ship sighted near Cape Fear
A decommissioned destroyer escort missing since Saturday night was spotted in 50-foot seas by a hurricane hunter aircraft about 150 miles east of Cape Fear. The Fogg, based in Boston and not active since 1947, towed toward Mayport, with 10 men unaccounted for. Hurricane Ginny lashed the coast, with winds up to 90 mph, complicating any rescue and radar contact with the Salish tug.
