   Akun Island, Aleutian Island Chain, Alaska.
   1. The F/V Lisa Jo, a 77-foot craft, ran hard aground in Akun Bay on the north side of Akun Island in the early morning of February 19, 1997. The vessel had roughly 1,200 gallons of diesel onboard. The craft maintained her integrity for less that a day. The strong north winds caused her to breakup and disgorge all her diesel. The vessel was considered a total loss. The Coast Guard Cutter Mellon stood by offshore and helped rescue the captain. Overflights on the second day revealed considerable sheen around the vessel and no birds or marine mammals were noted in the immediate vicinity. No response was possible or necessary. Throughout the incident strong winds from the northern quadrant pounded the craft. USCG district 17. Keyword: none.
   2. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 1200 GALLONS.
   3. POSITION 54.212N 165.482W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 7190: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/7190
