The captain of a dive boat that caught fire and sank off the California coast in 2019, killing 34 people in one of the state’s deadliest maritime disasters, was indicted on Tuesday on federal manslaughter charges, US prosecutors said.
Each of the 34 seaman’s manslaughter counts returned against Jerry Nehl Boylan, 67, of Santa Barbara, carries a statutory maximum penalty of 10 years in prison if he is convicted, according to a statement from the US attorney’s office in Los Angeles.

The grand jury cited three specific federal safety violations – failures to assign a night watch or roving patrol aboard the boat, to conduct sufficient crew training or to conduct adequate fire drills.
The victims had been sleeping below deck aboard the 75ft Conception when the vessel went up in flames in the early morning hours of 2 September 2019, while anchored in Platt’s Harbor near Santa Cruz Island, off the Santa Barbara coast, during a sport diving expedition.

No reason to not have a night watch

The indictment accuses Boylan of causing the deaths of the 33 passengers and one crew member who perished in the Labor Day weekend boat fire by way of “his misconduct, negligence, and inattention to his duties”, the prosecutors’ statement said.

Safety issues. They didn't have a roving night patrol and didn't train the crew or run safety drills.

Like high pointing the ball and Oklahoma?

Not having an overnight fire watch is inexcusable.

It is like he ignored everything he was supposed to do as a captain.

Didn't the captain bail off the ship too?

Yes. Which is why he is around to face charges. Dude jumped ship at the first opportunity and left the tourists to burn.

This ship has had previous instances of fire @ night while passengers aboard. Luckily for them the fire was extinguished before causing damage/injuries. Should have learned from the close call earlier.
