Oillike sludge coats Kennebec river from Bath ships to docks
Residents and Bath Iron Works officials fear an oil or grease like substance drifting along the Kennebec River. The new destroyer Timmerman and many boats show a black belt at the waterline, with possible sources from a sewer outlet near the Carlton bridge or car grease dumps. Officials seek origin while no storage tanks or definite leak identified.
