Original warning text
F/V Lady Myrtle; US/Canada Border (Maine/New Brunswick). US/Canada Border (Maine/New Brunswick). 1. First and Final Report: April 12, 2012: The Canadian Coast Guard reported to the US Coast Guard (protocol under the CANUSLANT agreement) a fishing vessel on fire and adrift just north of the US border and drifting south. All crew members were rescued and are unharmed. The vessel was carrying about 250 gallons of fuel. The US Coast Guard requested that NOAA estimate the drift and predict the location of the landfall. This was done (see separate entry) and it was estimated that the vessel would make landfall in Canada on the northeast corner of Grand Manan Island, southern Bay of Fundy. By mid-afternoon, the Canadian Coast Guard had secured the vessel and was towing the burned wreck to shore. Case Closed 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 250 GALLONS. 3. POSITION 44.792N 066.875W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8431: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8431
