The Card in the Cistern: How a Boat Vanished for Eleven Days

A laminated contact card from the missing Marguerite turned up inside a sealed cistern in May 1998 - eleven days after the boat disappeared and nine days after it was last seen at Pelham Cove. How did a waterproof emergency card, sealed away since November, arrive from a vessel that had not docked there since October, and what does that card reveal about the eleven days that erased Troy Mason from the record?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from Pelham Cove Yacht Basin to sixty-one miles offshore and piece together the sequence of events aboard the Marguerite, asking how equipment, decisions, and a sudden storm combined to leave one man alone on a life raft and one crew member missing.

Person: Troy Mason
Person: Bobby Teague
Date: May 9-May 19, 1998
Location: Pelham Cove Yacht Basin and 61 miles southwest in the Gulf
Vessel: Marguerite (42-foot sportfisher)

- The cistern at Pelham Cove had been sealed since November when Ryan Wells opened it on the morning of May 23, 1998.
- The laminated contact card for the Marguerite floated face-up in that cistern nine days after the boat had gone missing.
- Troy Mason was 54 years old and had been based at Pelham Cove for eleven years by spring 1998.
- The Marguerite dragged approximately 61 miles west-southwest after its anchor failed during a storm on May 11-12, 1998.
- The EPIRB transmitted the registered position (the original anchorage) for about six hours, which was already 61 miles from the boat’s actual location.
