   1. On April 25, 1986 the Gertrude D, a fishing vessel, was reported grounded in the southwest portion of Nantucket Harbor. A heavy sheen was observed to be coming from the vessel, which had 1,600 gallons of diesel on board. Upon inspection by the U.S. Coast Guard, a heavy concentration of oil was observed to have collected between the piers at the nearby Nantucket Boat Basin. Due to the 25-30 knot winds in the area, no transportation to the island was operating. USCG district 1.
