Sinking of MV Conception

On September 2, 2019, the 75-foot (23 m) diving boat "Conception" caught fire and sank off the coast of Santa Cruz Island, California. 
The boat was anchored in Platts Harbor, a small undeveloped bay on the north shore of the island, with over 30 passengers asleep below decks when fire broke out shortly after 3 am. The loss of the ship caused a rescue operation by the United States Coast Guard. 
Coast Guard divers counted 25 bodies in the sunken hull, while nine other people remain missing.
