Plans to remove a sunken 49-foot fishing vessel carrying about 2,600 gallons of fuel and oil off the coast of San Juan Island have been delayed, according to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).
The vessel was carrying five people on board when it began to sink near Sunset Point on Saturday, Aug. 13. The passengers onboard the Aleutian Isle were saved by a good Samaritan.
The vessel had about 2,500 gallons of diesel fuel and a combined 100 gallons of hydraulic fluid and lubricant oil aboard, according to the Coast Guard. The Aleutian Isle is still releasing small amounts of diesel, the Coast Guard said in a release.
USCG was hoping to remove the vessel on Tuesday, but plans were delayed after crews discovered the boat sank an additional 100 feet from where it initially came to a rest, putting it at a depth of around 210 feet.
