   1. At 1815, October 21, 1997, the fishing vessel Celia M sank about 4.5 miles east-southeast of Barataria Pass, Louisiana in 40 to 45 feet of water. The vessel was described as a 165-foot "pogy boat." She was carrying 2000 to 8000 gallons of diesel fuel, 300 gallons of lube oil, 300 gallons of hydraulic oil, and a 250-ton catch. The USCG reported that 14 people onboard were rescued before the vessel sank. A 1-mile long "red" diesel slick was reported tending south from the vessel. On October 23, 1997, divers completed plugging all vents, stopping the flow of diesel. USCG district 8. Keyword: none.

   1. On November 18, 1997, 15 to 20 barrels of Timbalier crude was spilled from a tank battery just north of East Timbalier Island. On November 21, the MSO reported that there had been no impacts to Timbalier Island throughout the night and that overflights and beach surveys throughout the day failed to detect any product, either on the beach or in the surrounding waters. As of November 24, no product or beach impacts had been detected. It is possible that less product than originally thought was spilled. Evaporation and dispersion could have aided the product's natural removal and the passage of a front and associated wind shift from the north could have moved the oil offshore. USCG district 8.
   2. COMMODITY: TIMBALIER BAY CRUDE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 840 GALLONS.
