Ex-Sub Chaser Dis
abled; Anchored
SEATTLE, (A3) — The Coastal
Trader, 103-foot converted navy
sub-chaser with seven aboard, was
reported disabled at anchor yes
terday off an island in the Gulf
of Alaska.
The coast guard said the vessel ,
radioed that it had taken heavy I
seas aboard earlier en route to An
chorage. It added, that the water
caused short circuits in the ves
| sel’s wiring. As a result the vessel
j is unable to raise its anchors and
proceed.
The craft asked for batteries to
replace those run down by the
short circuits so that it can start
equipment to lift the anchors.
A coast guard plane has been
readied to fly to the scene with
batteries.
The coast guard lost contact
with the vessel after the first ex
changes but said the vessel was
believed in no danger unless the
weather turns bad again.
The vessel is disabled at Wing
ham Island, a short distance west
of Cordova.
