In this part of a series, we take a look at the ship that’s on the ocean bottom off Point Lena that’s now the subject of an extensive oil removal operation. The Princess Kathleen ran aground and sank during a voyage from Juneau to Skagway in September 1952. (Update as of May 28th: The amount of oil recovered as of now is at least 118,000 gallons)
