First responders on Tuesday recovered an overturned boat near Portage Island that matches the description of the vessel the men had been travelling in.
The rescue coordination centre has said a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter was part of the search in Tabusintac Bay, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, along with the Canadian Coast Guard and the Fisheries Department.
