Here's the USCG story. The Coast Guard is currently responding to a distress
call from the 135-foot tugboat, Valour, towing a 500-foot barge loaded with
approximately 140,000 barrels of petroleum by-product 37 miles off the coast
of Cape Fear, N.C.

How do you call a 500ft barge missing? Does that mean sunk?

The tug sank in 15 to 20 ft seas, 2 dead, 1 missing, 6 rescued, barge
still adrift. It must have been a nightmare to those involved.
