   1. During a storm on October 31, 1991, (a violent "nor'easter" referred to by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as "Nor'easter SAM") the 50-foot, steel-hulled fishing vessel Michelle Lane ran hard aground on the southern shore of Nomansland Island (southwest of Martha's Vineyard). The crew was rescued by U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) search and rescue crews. The hull was intact and no release was reported. Due to the force and timing (at high tide) of the storm, the vessel was transported over a long, shallow, rocky approach and deposited in the sand and cobble at the high-tide line. Because the ship was stable and its hull intact, the probability of release was considered small. USCG district 1. Keyword: Clean Harbors Cooperative, ordnance.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL.
