Original warning text
F/V YANKEE ROSE Sinking; Provincetown, Massachusetts. Provincetown, MA, USA. 1. On March 5, 2026, the F/V Yankee Rose overturned and sank approximately two miles off Provincetown, Massachusetts. U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Sector Southeastern New England contacted the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) on March 12, requesting a trajectory for a small diesel spill that seemed to be coming from the vessel. A verbal trajectory was provided and information about the fate of diesel spills in the marine environment. Due to concerns with marine mammals and whales potentially in the area, the SSC contacted NOAA Fisheries Service, which contacted and coordinated with the USCG. No further SSC assistance was requested. 2. THREAT: OIL. 3. POSITION 42.120N 070.231W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 11134: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/11134
