A friend of the missing man notified Coast Guard Sector Hampton Roads watchstanders at approximately 10:45 a.m. that a canoe capsized with two people aboard earlier Friday, that one person swam to shore and that the other is missing.
A crew aboard a 24-foot Special Purpose Craft-Shallow Water from Coast Guard Station Ocean City in Ocean City, Md., was dispatched along with an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter and crew from Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City in Atlantic City, N.J., the Delaware State Police, a Maryland State Police helicopter, a Maryland Natural Resources Police boat, the Sussex County Sheriffs, two boats from the Ocean City Fire Department and the Millsboro Fire Department.
The missing person is described as a white male with black hair wearing a leather jacket and jeans and is reportedly not wearing a life jacket.
The capsized canoe has been located.
