November 8, 1960 [Long Beach Press Telegram]: “Hunt pushed for two men lost at sea. An intensified sea and air search for two Avalon fishermen missing since last Sunday began at daybreak today, the Coast Guard announced. Three aircraft—including a helicopter—and three Coast Guard patrol boats will join in a carefully planned, coordinated hunt for the lost fishermen. The search for James Gribbon, a power plant worker, and Jack Neary, a construction worker, was suspended Monday night after an unsuccessful search of offshore waters 50 miles south of Santa Catalina Island. Gribbon and Neary were reported missing Sunday night after they failed to return from a planned two-hour fishing trip a half mile off Avalon. They were using a 12-foot outboard skiff. They had no oars, food or water.”
November 10, 1960 [The Catalina Islander]: “Two Islanders lost at sea. Missing since Sunday and presumed lost at sea are James Gribbon and Jack Neary, both residents of Avalon. The two men left Avalon on Sunday afternoon in a 12-foot outboard powered with a 7-½ horsepower engine, with only a limited supply of fuel. Their intention was to fish for two hours and return to Avalon. The Coast Guard instigated an elaborate search program utilizing ships, planes and helicopters, on Sunday evening. This search was carried out on Monday and Tuesday. The Coast Guard search pattern covered an area of several hundred square miles before efforts were cancelled on Wednesday morning. At press time no news of the men's fate had been found.”
November 11, 1960 [San Pedro News Pilot]: “CG halts search for 2 fishermen. The Coast Guard has given up a 5-day search for two fishermen who disappeared in a 12-foot outboard in the San Pedro Channel The men, both of Avalon, were Jack Neary and James Gribbon.”
November 15, 1960 [San Pedro News Pilot]: “Anglers feared lost; boat found. A boat identified as one used by two fishermen missing since November 6, has been found two miles west of Anacapa Island, the Coast Guard reported today. The craft, a 12-foot outboard, was found overturned with an eight-inch hole amidship and the transom torn loose. The outboard motor was also missing. The boat was identified as the one carrying Jack Neary and Jim Gribbon, both of Avalon, who left that city Nov 6 for a fishing trip at the southeast end of Catalina. The men who identified the craft was its owner, Bob Hall of Inglewood, guardsmen said. There was no sign of life in the area where the boat was found. The two fishermen are presumed dead.
