    Holden, North Carolina.
    1. On November 15, 1994, MSO Wilmington received a report from USCG Station Oak Island of an oil sheen approximately one-mile long in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW). The sheen was reportedly coming from a vessel, believed to be the F/V Pathfinder, that had been hauled up on the beach and was being dismantled. At the time of the release all that remained of the vessel were piles of oily debris and an oil-contaminated shoreline. USCG district 5. Keyword: sorbent boom, pompoms.
    2. COMMODITY: DIESEL.

Not for navigation. The name is read automatically from official navigational warnings; a common name can belong to more than one ship, and a message may describe work the vessel is doing (cable, survey) rather than something that happened to it. Mariners must use official NAVAREA broadcasts and their national MSI service.
