35 CHRONIC OILING AND SEABIRD MORTALITY FROM THE SUNKEN VESSEL S.S. JACOB LUCKENBACH IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
In 2002, the source of a mystery oil spill that killed large numbers of seabirds, especially Common Murres Uria aalge, in the Gulf of the Farallones, central California, was tracked to the vessel S.S. Jacob Luckenbach which sank after a collision in 1954. Matches of many oil samples have established...
