   1. On March 24, 1993, the USCG received a report of a capsized vessel. The F/V Yukon, a 120-foot processor, had capsized at the dock in Womens Bay and was listing at 45? with approximately 3,000 gallons of diesel o board. The RP hired a contractor who boomed the vessel with 18-inch harbor boom and 8-inch sorbent boom. Divers were employed to plug the vents. Crews were able to right the vessel using onshore bulldozers, but not until approximately 1,000 gallons of fuel had been lost. Throughout the response, winds remained light and variable out of the south-southeast, blowing away from the sensitive tidal flats at the head of Womens Bay. USCG district 17. Keyword: sorbent boom.
   2. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 1000 GALLONS.
