Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on Isla San Cristobal, GALAPAGOS ISLAND (Jan. 21)--The tanker Jessica is currently listing greater than 45 degrees on it's starboard side. A U. S. Coast Guard pollution response crew sent to the Galapagos Islands pumped between 5,000 to 10,000 gallons of oil out of two tanks aboard the grounded tanker Jessica and into a barge today, but were forced to stop after conditions became too hazardous.
