Original warning text
MV HAIDA MONARCH; Gulf of Alaska. Gulf of Alaska. 1. At 0700 local time 09 DEC 98, the M/V HAIDA MONARCH reported to MSD Ketchikan that they lost 400 bundles of logs 75 nautical miles south of Cape St. Elias. Each bundle contains 80-100 logs which are 4-15 inches in diameter and 41-45 feet long. The logs are softwood so will absorb water and may sink. Shortly after the report, the Coast Guard began broadcasting a notice to mariners regarding the situation, and vessels in the area reported seeing bundles of logs south of Cape Hinchinbrook. USCG district 17. 2. COMMODITY: LOGS. 3. POSITION 58.883N 144.533W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 7358: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/7358
