MIAMI, Fla. (AP) - The Coast Guard has suspended its search for
a 39-year-old man who went overboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship
off the Bahamas.
The incident happened early Saturday morning, about 60 miles
north of Nassau.
The man was not immediately identified, but fellow passengers
saw him go overboard.
The ship was headed to Nassau, its first port of call on a
three-day voyage. Several cruise ships in the area were assisting
Coast Guard crews in the search.
The Coast Guard says in a release that it suspended its search
around 8 p.m. Saturday after searching 590 square miles.
