The body of a commercial fisherman was recovered Thursday afternoon after he apparently fell off the fishing vessel Long Faces in Hurricane Sound off Vinalhaven.

The Maine Marine Patrol in a news release said it received a call at approximately 4:45 p.m. that the man, later identified as 57-year-old Marshal Ames of North Haven, had fallen overboard.

A resident of Hurricane Island had recovered Ames’ body from the water and had begun CPR on shore at Dyer Island when the Marine Patrol and the U.S. Coastal Guard arrived, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The captain of the Long Faces, 39-year-old Geoffrey Barrett of North Haven, was charged with assault following an altercation with Marine Patrol officers at the dock at Dyer Island, the Marine Patrol said.

Barrett was also charged with refusing to submit to a chemical test and boating under the influence. Another crewmember, Theodore Lane of North Haven, 27, was charged with assault and disorderly conduct, the Marine Patrol said.

Ames’ body was transported to the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, according to the Marine Patrol.

Barrett and Lane were taken to Knox County Jail and later released on $500 bail, according to the Midcoast Villager. The Marine Patrol, the Knox County District Attorney’s Office and the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit are investigating the incident.
