BOSTON – Governor Maura Healey issued the following statement regarding the sinking of Lily Jean fishing vessel of the coast of Gloucester: 

“I’m heartbroken over the devastating news out of Gloucester about the sinking of the Lily Jean and have offered our full support to Mayor Lundberg, Harbormaster Lucido and the Coast Guard.
