The U.S. Coast Guard says the Siren, a 58-foot fishing vessel, was grounded on Wrangell Harbor early Saturday with 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on board.

The Coast Guard says a Siren crew member reported the grounding by radio, then safely disembarked from the ship in a small motor boat and reached the shore. The Coast Guard says it responded to the grounding at about 1:10 a.m.

At 6:30 a.m., a boom was placed around the Siren by the Southeast Alaska Petroleum Resource Organization in Wrangell.

An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew determined there was no sheen on the water.
