July 7, 2026 Just last week, six people are reported to have drowned after a charter fishing boat sank off the coast of Richmond, British Columbia. The boat, carrying ten people, began taking on water near Roberts Bank after leaving Steveston on Sunday (28 June 2026). A passing couple in their sailboat put out a mayday call at about 11:45am local time, reporting several people in the water without life jackets.
