The search for two boaters on the Delaware River is now being considered a recovery mission, according to the New Jersey State Police.
The two boaters were swept away by swift currents after their 19-foot vessel capsized in the river Saturday afternoon in West Deptford.
Good Samaritans in another boat rescued a third man who was also in the capsized boat at the time.
Officials say that the boat started to take on water and then overturned during a storm on Saturday.
