Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Evers

In a disheartening incident, Charles Lee Reese, a 37-year-old civil service mariner from Mississippi, went overboard from the MV Medgar Evers on September 28, 2022, at approximately 10:30 a.m. The search and rescue operation, which lasted for a grueling 37 hours, was officially suspended in the afternoon of September 29. Coast Guard and Navy rescue teams systematically scoured an expansive area of about 1,500 square nautical miles along southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Despite their exhaustive efforts through both aerial and maritime searches, no trace of Reese was found. Charles had joined the crew of the Medgar Evers in August, and the investigation into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance is currently underway.
