Tarr Statement Regarding the Crew Members of the Gloucester F/V Lily Jean
Boston (2/2/26) – Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) released the following statement today regarding the list of names of the crew of the F/V Lily Jean following its official release by the United States Coast Guard:
“Seeing the names of the crew on official documentation from the United States Coast Guard puts to rest any speculation or doubt, and it hurts to see these names and have the grim reality of this tragedy confirmed. We continue to be deeply appreciative for the courageous efforts of Coast Guard personnel to save those lost and reach a different outcome than the one which now bears heavily on our hearts.
In the wake of this most recent development, we will first continue to grieve, support the families of the crew, and honor their legacy.
Next, we will collectively assist families with whatever details need to be addressed as a consequence of these presumed deaths.
And, in the days ahead we will together work to understand more about what has caused this tragedy, and use that understanding to take actions to prevent, to the greatest extent possible, this type of loss from happening again.”
