A Norwegian cargo ship containing the boat that carried Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos arrived at Port Everglades near Fort Lauderdale on Sunday and will be unloaded Monday evening. The overturned 19-foot boat was spotted and recovered by a Norwegian ship in March off Bermuda, where it had been carried by currents.

The 14-year-old friends disappeared last July when their boat capsized during a storm off the coast of Jupiter, Florida. Along with the boat, fishing gear that was found onboard will also be returned. Austin's cellphone was also recovered. It was sent ahead in hopes of recovering data, but those efforts failed.

In April, surveillance video was released that may have captured the last time two Florida teenagers were seen alive before disappearing at sea. Pictures were also released that show the boat's battery and engine had been turned off.
