   1. On December 1, 1991, the 65-foot fishing vessel Eijyu Maru No. 1 ran aground on a reef, 100 to 200 yards off Ngarapalas Island, the southeast end of the Kayangel Islands Group in the Republic of Palau. The vessel was carrying 5,000 gallons of diesel, 165 gallons of lubrication oil, and 25 tons of fish. The Eijyu Maru was said to be lying on her port side on the reef with three quarters of her hull submerged and waves breaking over her. A six-foot hole was reported in the engine room hull and diesel sheen was observed in the water around the vessel. On-scene weather was 20-knot winds and six- to eight-foot seas. USCG district 14.
