Three men were aboard: Captain Oscar Diaz, his son Tim, and his nephew John Ansay. According to the distress call, the ship had hit rough weather near Block Island and began taking on water, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independentri.com\/news\/article_8a2459f8-144b-11e9-9d9a-0b7acc6fecc6.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local media reported<\/a>.
