Divers were expected on Apr 25 at the sinking site of the "Powhatan" near Sitka. The ship, owned by Samson Tug and Barge, sank in the night of Apr 17 while docked at Staffigavan Bay about seven miles north of Sitka. The tug after it sank shifted downslope 1,083 feet, moving from a depth of 49 feet to 197 feet. Samson estimated the tug carried 325 gallons of lube oil and 12 gallons of diesel. Divers from Alaska Commercial Divers were to try to minimize further release of oil and assess the tug for salvage. Responders positioned containment and absorbent boom to collect oil emerging under the dock.
