Jason Bjaranson
Warrenton, OR

Jason Bjaranson was a deck hand on the Fishing Vessel "The Lady Cecelia" that sank approximately 17 miles off the coast of Southern Washington State on 03/10/2012. No flares or distress calls went out from The Lady Cecelia. The only indication that the boat had gone down was due to the Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB). A device mounted on the roof of a boat’s cabin that sends out a signal if it comes into contact with water. The ping hit the Coast Guard station at Warrenton, Oregon at 3:37 a.m. on Saturday and a Coast Guard helicopter found the slick and the life raft in less than two hours off. The United states Coast Guard conducted a search of 640 square miles but were unable to locate any survivors.
