Diver recovers body of Maine lobsterman

KITTERY – A diver has recovered the body of a Kittery lobsterman who was lost at sea five days ago off the Isles of Shoals.

The Maine Public Safety department said the body of 46-year-old Christopher Tobey was picked up by the Coast Guard on Friday and was identified.

Tobey, his 16-year-old son and another crew member were tossed into the water Sunday when their 40-foot boat capsized after being struck by a large wave. The teen and crewman made it to Duck Island, near the New Hampshire line, where they were rescued Monday.
