Suraj Dhaneshwar

A Rosignol family is holding out hope that a missing fisherman, Suraj Dhaneshwar, will be found alive after the boat he was in capsized on Tuesday night.

The mishap occurred as Dhaneshwar and the captain of the boat, Oneil Deputron, were returning with their catch to the Three Door Fishermen’s Co-op, located at D’ Edward Village, West Coast Berbice, directly next to the Berbice River Bridge.

Dhaneshwar, also known as ‘Sonny,’ 28, of Lot 49 Railway Line, Rosignol, West Coast Berbice, left home Tues-day morning to head out to sea to fish with his captain on the 36-ft wooden boat, which was equipped with a 40-hp engine.
