Search Suspended For Cruise Ship Crew Member

U.S. Coast Guard teams have suspended their search for a cruise ship crew member who fell overboard into the Atlantic Ocean off of Wellfleet.

The Coast Guard was notified after a security camera on the ship recorded the incident on the Norwegian Breakaway cruise ship.

The ship launched its rescue boats and joined the Coast Guard shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday to begin a search by air and water.

According to WCVB-TV, the search was suspended shortly before 12:30 Sunday afternoon "pending new information."

The cruise ship arrived in Boston on Sunday afternoon.

The name of the person who fell overboard has not been released.
