   FV View Point; Prince of Wales Bay, SE Alaska.
   Prince of Wales Bay, SE Alaska.
   1. Early on the morning of July 29, NOAA received a report from Coast Guard MSD Ketchikan that the FV View Point had grounded and taken on water and sank in 200 fathoms of water in Gardner Bay, part of South Prince of Wales Bay, with 400 gallons of diesel on board. One POB had evacuated the vessel and was saved by a Good Sam. Due to the dramatic similarities to the FV Mary Kay sinking just two days ago, the trajectory and fate analysis were essentially identical. CG and ADFG will be overflying the site later today to evaluate the size and scope of the problem due to a commercial fishing opening on Monday.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 400 GALLONS. TAGS: GROUNDING.
   3. POSITION 54.832N 131.928W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8485: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8485
