    Crews aboard M/V SHELIA BORDELON offload more than 450,000 gallons of oil from the Coimbra shipwreck 30 miles offshore from Shinnecock, N.Y. U.S. Coast Guard responders discovered a significant amount of oil in cargo and fuel tanks during onsite assessments of the Coimbra in May 2019. The Coimbra sank off the coast of Long Island after a German U-boat torpedoed the ship in January 1942. US Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Himes.

    U.S. Coast Guard National Strike Force Atlantic Strike Team members are conducting operations on what appears to be a vessel or dock. Personnel in orange life vests and white hard hats are examining equipment, likely a sampling or detection device, while a civilian contractor in a yellow hard hat and orange vest observes in the background. The scene suggests a hazmat assessment, oil spill response, or environmental sampling operation.

The supply vessel's deck is loaded with cylindrical tanks, white bulk bags, equipment, and a small orange inflatable boat. The operation is taking place in open ocean under partly cloudy skies with moderate sea conditions.
    A large group of personnel are gathered on the deck of an offshore vessel or salvage ship, appearing to participate in a memorial or briefing ceremony. A floral wreath with red, white, and blue flowers is visible on the left side of the deck, suggesting a commemorative event. Personnel are wearing a mix of uniforms including U.S. Coast Guard blue, orange high-visibility coveralls, and civilian work attire.
