Actor John Calvert Missing With Crew After Yacht Vanishes
Hollywood actor John Calvert, his mother in law, a couple from California, two young Americans, and two Chinese companions vanish in the East China Sea after their yacht the Thespian of Los Angeles fails to arrive at a Kyushu port. A former magic star, Calvert had sailed from Keelung last Monday toward Hakata, amid rough seas and monsoon winds, with search efforts prepared by Tokyo Coast Guard if needed. The missing crew include Calvert’s wife Ann Cornell and their newborn son, and a prior grounding near Formosa prompted repairs and new sails before departure. The Coast Guard alerted Japanese fishing vessels and monitored a drifting craft sighted near Shanghai. Calvert’s two-year world cruise began last August from Los Angeles, with stops for TV work and stage shows. Weather and seaworthiness questions linger as officials consider the voyage’s feasibility.
