You call Lt. Paul Wolf, spokesman for the Boston office of the U.S. Coast Guard.
He says Coast Guard monitoring stations on Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard heard
a single distress call from the Sol E Mar on April 3. The Coast Guard tried to
get the caller back in order to locate the ship and send help. But just over a
minute after the first distress call was received, another call came in. This
call appeared to be a hoax distress call, a prank. Coast Guard monitors assumed
the two calls came from the same ship, that both were hoaxes, and therefore
didn't send begin a search.
On April 7, the Sol E Mar was reported missing. The Coast Guard realized the
original distress call had been genuine, and dispatched rescue planes and boats
to conduct a search. But by then it was too late, Wolf says. Wolf tells you he
has a tape of the two calls recorded by the monitoring stations.
