Coast Guard battles oil spill from grounded tanker
Boston AP report says 1.5 million gallons of heavy fuel oil from the 640-foot Argo Merchant headed toward the Georges Bank grounds while Coast Guard strategizes to stop 6 million more from escaping. Cleanup coordinator Capt. Lynn Hein revised leaked amount upward from 100,000 gallons as oil thinned in cold water. The wedge reach extended 65 miles seaward, with the edge about 40 miles from the fishing grounds, raising uncertainty on surface versus bottom oil. Rear Adm. James Stewart noted sand may carry oil downward.
