Abstract
ABSTRACT Near midnight on December 22, 1988, at the entrance to Grays Harbor, Washington, the tug Ocean Service breaks its towline to the barge Nestucca. In maneuvering to recapture the drifting barge, which is loaded with 70,000 barrels of Bunker C oil, it punctures one of Nestucca's cargo tanks. Pollution control forces are called into action. This narrative tells just how many people and organizations were involved in minimizing damage in two countries and credits their success to planning, preparedness, and cooperation.
