   F/V Midnight Hour; Approx 1nm off the West End of Santa Catalina Island, CA.
   Approx 1nm off the West End of Santa Catalina Island, CA.
   1. At approximately 2145hours (local) on 30AUG2011, the 61’ F/V Midnight Hour sank approximately 1nm off of Eagle Rock near the west End of Santa Catalina Island, CA. The vessel owner/operator reported that approximately 500 gallons of diesel were on-board, but the vessel had the capacity for up to 3,000 gallons. The vessel sank too quickly to provide an exact position and it is not known whether the vessel is leaking fuel at this time. However, USCG Sector LA/LB contacted their local NOAA SSC at 0213hrs on 31AUG2011 for trajectory support, to estimate the potential for shoreline impacts and to assist during their morning overflight of the area.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 3000 GALLONS.
   3. POSITION 33.467N 118.625W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8350: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8350
