BOSTON (AP) The Coast Guard is searching for the four-member crew of a Maine fishing boat that sank off Massachusetts.

The Coast Guard says the 82-foot Emmy Rose went down early Monday about 20 miles northeast of Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Petty Officer Ryan Noel says the Coast Guard got the emergency alert around 1:30 a.m. and was on the scene by about 2:30 a.m.

Crews found debris and an empty life raft.

Three Coast Guard vessels and two aircraft are involved in the search.

It is being made more difficult by 6- to 8-foot seas and 35 mph winds.

The Emmy Rose is based in Portland.
