same thing has happened here on the East Coast with a few clammers...one quite famous case I was the USCG duty officer for, The boat rolled in mild conditions, 4 men lost, survival suits still in their bags stowed in the wheelhouse...no mayday.

investigation showed scattered cages meaning they were on deck instead of the wet hold...sad....that error was fatal...very similar to crab pots improperly stowed.
