A Canadian-built replica 18th-century sailing vessel got caught in Hurricane Sandy's wrath and began taking on water Monday, forcing the crew into lifeboats in rough seas off the North Carolina coast.
The U.S. Coast Guard rescued 14 people by helicopter and spent much of the day searching for two missing crew members.
One of them, 42-year-old Claudene Christian, was found unresponsive in the water on Monday evening.
