Sheen observed on Lake Washington near the location of the discharging sunken vessel. Fuel could be observed rising to the surface as pink droplets before spreading out in a larger sheen that was at times rainbow and also observed in a more weathered grayish appearance. The entire length of the sheen was not measured but is estimated to have been at least several hundred yards long at the time the boom was put in place. Site Photo 7/9/2018
