The Massachusetts Medical Examiner’s Office will perform an autopsy on the body of a 59-year-old woman who fell off a cruise ship Friday night that was bound for Bar Harbor.
“We heard it on the radio, and we got underway”, Rockport harbormaster Rosemary Lesch told the Herald.
At about 8:30 p.m. the Rockport Harbormaster recovered the woman.
The ship immediately slowed and began search and rescue operations, the Seaborn cruise line said in a statement.
The Seabourn Quest is a 650-foot cruise ship whose home port is in the Bahamas.
