Coast Guard, partner agencies assess tanker Coimbra
A diver is lowered into the water from the Shelia Bordelon, May 10, 2019. The U.S. Coast Guard has contracted Resolve Marine Group to conduct a full assessment of oil remaining on the Coimbra wreck, located approximately 30 miles southeast of Shinnecock, N.Y. If substantial oil still remains, and if feasible, the Coast Guard will work with Resolve Marine Group to remove oil from the wreck in order to reduce pollution risks to the environment. The Coimbra, a British-flagged supply ship, sunk off the coast of Long Island in January 1942 when a German U-boat torpedoed it. (FOR RELEASE U.S. Coast Guard video by Lt. j.g. Rodion Mazin.)
