Grand Zenith missing after leaving Teesport bound for Massachusetts
The Grand Zenith sailed Dec 19 from Teesport England toward Somerville Massachusetts and was last heard Dec 22 about 60 miles south of Yarmouth Nova Scotia. Coast Guard officials say no prior case matches this disappearance and lifeboat endurance depends on warmth and canopies. Weather and sea temperatures hinder searches from Nova Scotia to Rhode Island. Oil seen near Georges Bank linked to Argo Merchant spill remains under analysis.
