1. At 0828 on September 18, 1989, the DAVE BLACKBURN was dredging Bayou Cassotte about 2-1/2 nautical miles east-southeast of of Pascagoula, Mississippi. One of the dredge's 30 inch-diameter, pointed spuds penetrated a 90-mile long, 20-inch Chevron Oil pipeline, reportedly buried 20 feet beneath the bottom of the ship channel. The pipeline contained 5,000 barrels of Basrah Light crude; the dredge soon observed heavy, dark oil rising about her stern. USCG district 8.

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.
