NEW YORK — Police divers late Sunday stopped searching inside a sunken tugboat for the body of a third crew member who went missing after the boat crashed into a barge on the Hudson River north of New York City.
“It has moved from a rescue and recovery operation to a salvage operation,” said Westchester County Police spokesman Kieran O’Leary, who added that county police helicopter and marine unit boats will resume searching the river surface Monday on the remote chance the body of Harry Hernandez, 56, of Staten Island, New York, was ejected from the boat.
