   Unalaska Island, Aleutian Islands, Alaska.
   1. On January 11, 1989, the CHIL BO SAN #6, a 283-foot fish carrier owned by Korea Wonyang Fisheries, reported itself in distress on the west side of Unalaska Island. The CHIL BO SAN had a broken propeller shaft and was drifting in severe weather conditions. With anchors dragging, the vessel grounded two miles south of Spray Point. The vessel was carrying 4,565 gallons of lube oil, in drums and tanks, and approximately 65,000 gallons of diesel. On January 15, a surveyor observed a sheen around the vessel extending two miles south. Apparently, the vessel came over a reef and settled onto the rocks sideways, beaching in a small cove. USCG district 17.
   2. COMMODITY: LUBE OIL, DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 70000 GALLONS.
   3. POSITION 53.724N 166.875W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 6650: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/6650
