CAPE MAY, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2022 / Two fishing vessels that have long supplied Lund’s Fisheries were involved in an incident sixty miles off the coast of Virginia yesterday morning. The F/V Tremont collided with a Panamanian flag cargo ship and sank. F/V Dyrsten, operating nearby, came to their aid.
