Divers continued the search Saturday for nine missing crewmen after an oilfield boat overturned Tuesday in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana.
The Seacor Power liftboat carrying 19 people departed Port Fourchon at the southern tip of Lafourche around 1:30 p.m. as thunderstorms began to roll in. The boat, which was headed toward Main Pass off Plaquemines Parish, capsized about 4:30 p.m. in about 55 feet of water 8 miles south of the port.
Six people were rescued Tuesday shortly after the 129-foot vessel capsized, and one other body was recovered from the water Wednesday. A second body was found Thursday in the water about 50 miles from the partially submerged liftboat, the Lafourche Parish Coroner s Office said Friday.

MT HAMILTON, Calif. Perched atop Mt. Hamilton, within squinting distance of San Jose, is a place where technology and history collide.
The Lick Observatory is a Santa Clara County monument and celestial discovery center. Elinor Gates is an astronomer at the facility and one of the few people trained to operate the historic 36-inch refractor telescope, the observatory’s prized instrument.
“It was really the pinnacle of technology in 1888 and I like to think of it as the dawn of Silicon Valley,” Gates said. “As soon this telescope was completed, [we] started making great discoveries.”
