   1. Due to heavy seas on December 9, 1998, M/V Haida Monarch lost her deck cargo of logs into the northern Gulf of Alaska (GOA) about 70 miles due south from Cape St. Elias on the southern tip of Kayak Island. The quantity of logs was quite large-500 log bundles of 80 to 100 logs per bundle. Each bundle contained 80 to 100 logs about 41 to 45 feet long and 4 to 15 inches in diameter. Each bundle weighed approximate 27 tons. The USCG deemed these logs a hazard to navigation of TAPS tankers, container vessels, and maritime traffic in the GOA. USCG district 17. Keyword: logs, navigation hazards.
