   1. On October 2, 1987, the tanker Stuyvesant departed from the Valdez terminal, en route to Panama, with 1,500,000 barrels of North Slope crude on board. The vessel encountered severe storms during October 3-5 while approximately 200 miles offshore of Prince of Wales and Queen Charlotte Islands. At approximately 1500 on October 6, the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office (MSO), Juneau, was notified that a leak had been detected in one of the Stuyvesant's starboard tank on October 4. The leak was believed to have stopped on the evening of October 6 when the vessel was approximately 200 miles offshore the Columbia River mouth. However, Coast Guard overflights identified oil slicks off the Washington/ Oregon coast and off Dixon Entrance. A total of 600,000 gallons of North Slope crude is believed to have been lost between October 4-6. USCG district 17.
   2. COMMODITY: NORTH SLOPE CRUDE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 600000 GALLONS.

   1. At approximately 8:00pm PST the Dredge STUYVESANT notified the Coast Guard that they noticed a trailing sheen as the dredge was coming in to Humbolt Bay. A Coast Guard overflight confirmed oil coming from the barge and requested that the vessel head out to the sea buoy to assess the problem. The vessel was found to have a crack in the hull 10' below the water line on the starboard side. The vessel continued west, further out to sea, and is attempting to effect repairs at sea. The crack is in a tank which contained approximately 920 BBL of IFO-180 fuel oil. After sounding the tank it is estimated that approximately 2,000 gallons of fuel oil has been released. USCG district 11. Keyword: containment boom, endangered species, evaporation, shallow-water recovery, skimmers, smothering, sorbent boom, sorbent pompoms, vacuum trucks, volunteers.
