Fishing Vessel Oracle Runs Aground Near False Pass, Alaska; Five Crew Rescued
On October 29, 2026, the fishing vessel Oracle ran hard aground on rocks about 100 feet offshore, northeast of Cape Pankok on Unimak Island near False Pass, Alaska. All five crew members were rescued by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew and taken to Cold Bay. A storm is expected to delay further response for several days, and the primary concern is a potential oil release.
