   Pacific Glory; Isle of Wight, England.
   Isle of Wight, England.
   1. On the evening of October 23, 1970, the tanker Pacific Glory and the tanker Allegro collided six miles off the Isle of Wight, England. The Pacific Glory caught fire, and was taken under tow as firefighting tugs tried to control the fire. Explosions ruptured a starboard tank, and led to the flooding of the engine space. The next day, the tanker began to settle and eventually touched bottom at a point four miles from the shore. The Allegro continued on from the collision site under her own power. The initial leak stopped soon after the collision, but as explosions occurred on the Pacific Glory additional leaks started from a starboard tank. The tank contained 35,400 barrels of Nigerian crude oil. Some of the oil burned, but approximately 24,780 barrels of oil spilled from the tank, forming three slicks. Very little oil came ashore, but some oil impacted Brighton and Selsey.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: NIGERIAN CRUDE OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 1040000 GALLONS. TAGS: COLLISION.

   Ethel H (II); Hudson River, New York.
   Hudson River, New York.
   1. On February 4, 1977, at approximately 1900, the Ethel H (II) ran aground on Con Hook Rock in the Hudson River near West Point, New York, while being towed by the tug McAllister Brothers. The forward section of the barge began taking on water. Due to darkness and heavy ice conditions, none of the 60,000 barrels of No. 6 oil aboard the Ethel H (II) was observed to be leaking into the water at the time of the grounding. At 0255 February 5, the dispatcher reported oil leaking from the #1 starboard tank on the Ethel H (II). Oil was observed both north and south of the vessel, but did not reach the shore due to 12 to 20 inches of shorebound ice. By 1015, the Ethel H (II) had shifted partially off Con Hook Rock and was in danger of sinking. Tugs assisted to help prevent the barge from sinking. Sea Land Environmental Engineering Co, contracted by McAllister Towing Co., and the USCG Atlantic [...]
   2. COMMODITY: NO. 6 FUEL OIL.

   Forest River, Savannah, Ga.
   1. The Stacey Lynn, a 64 ft 84 gross ton fishing vessel began taking on water at anchor in the Forest River near Savannah, Ga this afternoon. The vessel has 300 gallons of diesel onboard. USCG activated the RRT4 to discuss contact water disposal to help stabilize the vessel and prevent total sinking until a transfer vessel can arrive on-scene and the Stacey Lynn can be safely towed to a haul out.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 300 GALLONS.
