The search eventually covered over 186,000 sq nmi (640,000 km2). On November 6, 1991, Andrea Gail's emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) was discovered washed up on the shore of Sable Island in Nova Scotia.
Was the Andrea Gail wreckage ever found?
Winds from the storm reached strengths of 120 miles per hour and when no communication was heard from the 72-foot Andrea Gail, which was right in the center of the storm, the search was called off in a matter of ten days. To this day, the trawler, and its crew, have never been recovered.
