Shortly after 1003 on 27 January 2021, the whelk potter Nicola Faith left its home port of Conwy, North Wales and headed out to its fishing grounds with three crew members on board. Their intention was to relocate eight strings of pots to fresh fishing grounds and to haul, empty and reshoot strings of pots that had already been laid in that area. The crew fished and relocated pots throughout the day. Nicola Faith was reported overdue the following morning and an extensive search began, but no sign of the missing vessel was found. A wide-ranging underwater search then started.
