Three Urlings Fishermen Missing at Sea
Search efforts are underway after three fishermen from the coastal village of Urlings failed to return from a fishing trip earlier this week.
Relatives say the men left the Urlings area sometime after 7 p.m. on Wednesday aboard a white fishing vessel with a cabin identified as FAITH P, registration V2090UL.
According to updated information from a family member, one of the fishermen contacted relatives early Thursday morning and said he would be returning. However, attempts to reach him afterward were unsuccessful, with the phone reportedly out of range or turned off.
The missing men have been identified as Calton Pitt, the owner of the vessel, Devon Prince, also known as “Greecegun,” and Ivan Pryce, known as “Puskey.”
The Antigua and Barbuda Coast Guard has begun a search operation, while fishermen from the Urlings fishing station have also joined the effort to locate the vessel.
Images circulating on social media show the boat believed to be associated with the men as family members and residents continue to appeal for information.
Anyone with information that could assist in locating the fishermen is asked to contact 774-0820 or 728-5884.

Is that the highest or best level of journalism that we have in Antigua?
If this portal wants to remain relevant in the political arena, do so.
Stop posing as a media entity.
Your work brings more embarrassment both to the profession and to Antigua and Barbuda than putting us in a positive and educated light.
You have penned a long article on the disappearance of three fisher folks.
You have told us for how long they have not been heard from.
You have listed contact information for relatives.
RELATIVES OF WHO????
Itheir identity even at this moment a safely guarded secret?
This is what i call bottom of the barrel journalism.
The principals of this portal, if they have a molecule of common sense, must be deeply embarrassed at this level of journalism.
A student at the Golden Grove Primary School would expose the incompetence of those associated with this portal.
As is the case with every single report about missing fishermen, we never hear where the people normally fish, or if anyone knows where they were going or any other info that could help find them. There’s so many yachts and other vessels out there and helicopters and planes…. Just give us a clue of where they would have been.
Pray they return safe
Can an update be the very same story, word for word, that was first issued?
An update would normally carry some bit of further information on the subject matter of the first or any previous reporting. This reads like a cut and paste of the same story.
