Briefly

A tragic accident occurred off the North Shore when a rope snapped on the fishing vessel 25 TO LIFE, injuring two crew members. 26-year-old Jaxson Marston sustained severe injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital. The incident prompted a swift response from the US Coast Guard. The local community has rallied support for Marston's family, with a fundraiser initiated by Cape Ann Lobstermen encouraging fishermen to contribute. Tributes poured in for Marston, who was remembered as a dedicated family man and friend by those who knew him well.
"I have had trouble all day trying to find the right words to say," Stubbs wrote. "I have known you for a long time. But the last years we have been close. I don't know what to do."
Cape Ann Lobstermen, a fish market in Gloucester, started a fundraiser to provide for Marston's family, encouraging fishermen to donate a bag of scallops from their final catch.
