The Coroners Service has released the names of the men who drowned when their fishing boat sank off the West Coast of the Island last weekend.
One was a Duncan man; 55-year-old captain Wesley Hegglund.
The others were from Port Alberni, 48-year-old Keith Standing and 41-year-old Doug White.
All three were crew members on the 33-metre commercial fishing boat Caledonian, which was about 55 km west of Estevan Point north of Tofino when it capsized and sank. One man survived.
