On May 2nd, 1941, the 27-foot launch Bingo II was found just of the coast of Gay Head, unoccupied with its motor still running. An intensive 10-day search followed to recover the body of the boat's owner, Isaac T. Haddock, who had departed from New Bedford on May 1st for a fishing trip off Vineyard Haven.
On May 12th, Haddock's body was found floating 8 miles south-southwest of Vineyard Sound Light-vessel by crew members aboard the fishing boat J. Henry Smith, who alerted the Coast Guard.
